I consider it a supreme honor to invite you to hear the Zoom presentation by Dr. Lawrence Schiffman on Monday, April 28th, at 8:00 pm Jerusalem time. Please accept our invitation for this Webinar sponsored by the Ecumenical Theological Research Fraternity in Israel. Please register today and plan to participate.
Professor Schiffman is a specialist in the Dead Sea Scrolls, Judaism in late antiquity, the history of Jewish law, and Talmudic literature. His many publications include From Text to Tradition: A History of Second Temple and Rabbinic Judaism; Reclaiming the Dead Sea Scrolls; Qumran and Jerusalem: Studies in the Dead Sea Scrolls and the History of Judaism; The Temple Scroll (with A.D. Gross); and more than 200 articles on the Dead Sea Scrolls and Rabbinic Judaism. He coedited the Encyclopedia of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the award-winning Outside the Bible: Ancient Jewish Writings Related to Scripture, and the five-volume series, An End to Antisemitism. He is also a highly respected and frequent guest lecturer at the Ecumenical Theological Research Fraternity in Israel.
Without question, for many scholars the Dead Sea Scrolls are the most significant archaeological discovery of our time. The scrolls are a living voice from early Jewish thought in late antiquity. For decades, Dr. Lawrence Schiffman has been at the forefront of Dead Sea Scroll research with his deep understanding of Jewish faith, practice, and halakhah. We are honored with this very special presentation.
Please do not miss this Webinar on Monday April 28, 2025, at 8:00 pm Jerusalem time. Mark your calendar and set the alarm on your phone. After the lecture, you will be able to ask questions and hear more from Dr. Schiffman.
