Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.
Alice NakhimovskyUSAColgate UniversityParallel Lives: Eight Jewish Paths through Soviet Jewry, 1890-1953Dr. Alice Nakhimovsky is a Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies and Russian and Eurasian Studies at Colgate University, where she teach courses, mostly literature, in both departments. The project funded by the Memorial Foundation examines the lives of eight Russian Jews who were born in the Pale of Settlement and bought into the Revolution. All were confronted with the same excruciating set of moral and political dilemmas, sometimes Jewish and sometimes universal. Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014).

He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations.

In 2018-2019, episodes of Strange Radio were commissioned by Österreichische Rundfunk (ORF), the national public broadcasting network in Austria, and by Tonspur Kunstverein Wien, which enabled Strange Radio to be a public sound installation for six months in city centers in Vienna and Maribor, Slovenia. Strange Radio was the centerpiece for a 2018 group exhibition called Karen Werner’s Haus Plus A Group Of Works Circling About Holocaust Postmemory And The Stranger at Vienna’s Mag3 Gallery; the exhibition brought together many contemporary Jewish and non-Jewish artists in Vienna looking at the multigenerational impact of the Holocaust in the city. Dr. Werner continues to develop Strange Radio episodes in new forms as an Artistic Research Fellow at the Department of Contemporary Art, University of Bergen, Norway.
In 2019-2020, Dr. Werner received a second grant from MFJC in support of her project Houdini: A Radio Opera, based on a musical play written by American poet Muriel Rukeyser. Dr. Werner’s radio art can be heard at karenwerner.net.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014).

He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.
Abraham RubinISRAEL/USALawrence UniversityIn Pursuit of the Jewish Spirit: The Poetics and Politics of MetaphorDr. Abraham Rubin is currently a postdoctoral fellow at The Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

His work on German-Jewish literature, culture and thought has appeared in such journals as The Jewish Quarterly Review, Literature & Theology and Jewish Social Studies.
Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014). His dissertation, Kafka’s German-Jewish Reception as Mirror of Modernity, explored the diverse and contradictory ways Jewish intellectuals in the interwar era interpreted Kafka’s fiction, and how their readings mirrored the transformations that occurred in Jewish self-understanding during that period.
He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

All were confronted with the same excruciating set of moral and political dilemmas, sometimes Jewish and sometimes universal. Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography.

He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.
Alice NakhimovskyUSAColgate UniversityParallel Lives: Eight Jewish Paths through Soviet Jewry, 1890-1953Dr. Alice Nakhimovsky is a Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies and Russian and Eurasian Studies at Colgate University, where she teach courses, mostly literature, in both departments. The project funded by the Memorial Foundation examines the lives of eight Russian Jews who were born in the Pale of Settlement and bought into the Revolution. All were confronted with the same excruciating set of moral and political dilemmas, sometimes Jewish and sometimes universal. Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.
Abraham RubinISRAEL/USALawrence UniversityIn Pursuit of the Jewish Spirit: The Poetics and Politics of MetaphorDr. Abraham Rubin is currently a postdoctoral fellow at The Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

His work on German-Jewish literature, culture and thought has appeared in such journals as The Jewish Quarterly Review, Literature & Theology and Jewish Social Studies.
Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014). His dissertation, Kafka’s German-Jewish Reception as Mirror of Modernity, explored the diverse and contradictory ways Jewish intellectuals in the interwar era interpreted Kafka’s fiction, and how their readings mirrored the transformations that occurred in Jewish self-understanding during that period.
He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Guy EhrlichIsraelTel-Aviv UniversityThe Specters of the Canon: Women Authors in Hebrew Literature (1900-1980)Guy Ehrlich is a Ph.D. candidate at Tel Aviv University and a researcher at the Kipp Center for Hebrew Literature and Culture. His dissertation focuses on the poetics of Israeli author Yehudit Hendel (1921-2014). His upcoming project aims to rethink the spectral presence of female authors in the canon of Hebrew literature by reintroducing central, recognized female authors, who despite their alleged canonical status have been marginalized in the national cultural memory. By adopting the recent theoretical discourse of “weak theory,” this project seeks to revisit the female Lineage of Hebrew Literature (1900-1980).

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

The project funded by the Memorial Foundation examines the lives of eight Russian Jews who were born in the Pale of Settlement and bought into the Revolution. All were confronted with the same excruciating set of moral and political dilemmas, sometimes Jewish and sometimes universal. Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography.

He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

All were confronted with the same excruciating set of moral and political dilemmas, sometimes Jewish and sometimes universal. Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography.

He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

All were confronted with the same excruciating set of moral and political dilemmas, sometimes Jewish and sometimes universal. Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020).

The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.
Abraham RubinISRAEL/USALawrence UniversityIn Pursuit of the Jewish Spirit: The Poetics and Politics of MetaphorDr. Abraham Rubin is currently a postdoctoral fellow at The Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Before coming to Jerusalem, he held postdoctoral positions at Lawrence University (2014-16) and Goethe University, Frankfurt (2016-18). His work on German-Jewish literature, culture and thought has appeared in such journals as The Jewish Quarterly Review, Literature & Theology and Jewish Social Studies.
Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014). His dissertation, Kafka’s German-Jewish Reception as Mirror of Modernity, explored the diverse and contradictory ways Jewish intellectuals in the interwar era interpreted Kafka’s fiction, and how their readings mirrored the transformations that occurred in Jewish self-understanding during that period.
He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

For Dr. Fisher’s full research publications see: https://mishpat.academia.edu/NetanelFisher.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

Julie WeitzUSAIndependent ArtistMy Golem: Reimagining the Jewish Myth of Artificial IntelligenceJulie Weitz is an LA-based visual artist working in video, performance, and installation. Weitz's current project centers on her embodiment and portrayal of a futuristic folkloric humanoid, named My Golem. The character was created in 2017 for a series of Instagram videos that responded to rising antisemitism. My Golem has grown to include live performance, film and social media content, and collaborative educational initiatives. Though each new initiative is distinct from the last, what has remained consistent is Weitz and her Golem's confrontation of contemporary cultural issues, through the fantastical lens of a Jewish mythological figure. She has been featured in Artforum, Art in America, The L.A. Times, The New York Times, Bomb Magazine, L.A. COnfidential, Photograph Magazine, Hyperallergic and on KCRW.

His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
He is the author of The Language of Nazi Genocide (Cambridge University Press, 2009) and the co-editor (with Jürgen Matthäus) of Beyond ‘Ordinary Men’: Christopher R. Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography.

He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

His articles have appeared in journals including The Russian Review, French Forum, Comparative Literature Studies, In geveb, Journal of Narrative Theory, and American Journal of Psychoanalysis. His first critical study, Narrative Faith: Dostoevsky, Camus, and Singer (U Del Press, 2018), focused on narration and moral vision. His second critical work, IDIOT LOVE and the Elements of Intimacy, focused on literature, philosophy, and psychoanalysis, is forthcoming from Palgrave Macmillan.
Stromberg has published translations from the Russian, Hebrew, and Yiddish. He is editor to the Isaac Bashevis Singer Literary Trust, and his translations of Singer's work have appeared in the New Yorker, Public Seminar, Los Angeles Review of Books, and Lapham's Quarterly. He is also editor of In the Land of Happy Tears: Yiddish Tales for Modern Times (Delacorte / Random House), a collection of translated stories for children from the early 20th century.
Stromberg was born in Israel to ex-Soviet parents and immigrated as a child to urban Los Angeles. He has recently published a series of personal essays in Public Seminar, including three meditations on growing up on the ethnic and cultural margins of the inner city – focusing on issues of race and repair, hate and boycotts, and the feeling of anti-Semitism. He lives in Jerusalem.

He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.
Alice NakhimovskyUSAColgate UniversityParallel Lives: Eight Jewish Paths through Soviet Jewry, 1890-1953Dr. Alice Nakhimovsky is a Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies and Russian and Eurasian Studies at Colgate University, where she teach courses, mostly literature, in both departments. The project funded by the Memorial Foundation examines the lives of eight Russian Jews who were born in the Pale of Settlement and bought into the Revolution. All were confronted with the same excruciating set of moral and political dilemmas, sometimes Jewish and sometimes universal. Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations.

His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014).

He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

Julie WeitzUSAIndependent ArtistMy Golem: Reimagining the Jewish Myth of Artificial IntelligenceJulie Weitz is an LA-based visual artist working in video, performance, and installation. Weitz's current project centers on her embodiment and portrayal of a futuristic folkloric humanoid, named My Golem. The character was created in 2017 for a series of Instagram videos that responded to rising antisemitism. My Golem has grown to include live performance, film and social media content, and collaborative educational initiatives. Though each new initiative is distinct from the last, what has remained consistent is Weitz and her Golem's confrontation of contemporary cultural issues, through the fantastical lens of a Jewish mythological figure.

His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography.

He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Mirta KupfermincARGENTINATower of Babel InstallationMirta Kupferminc is an Argentine multidisciplinary artist, curator, lecturer and teacher who shows her art internationally in individual shows in galleries and museums. Exhibiting since 1977, she has had more than 100 solo and group shows in Argentina, Cuba, Brazil, Uruguay, China. Switzerland, Spain, Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, Germany, Israel, Poland, France, Hungary, England and the United States. Her work is engraved in a very precise contemporary production line.

She has received many awards and recognitions and was chosen to build the memorial to honor the victims of the terrorist attack of the Jewish Community building AMIA in Buenos Aires in 1994.
Mirta searches into her family history and Jewish culture in order to draw out of these sources a number of metaphors that go beyond the peculiarities of individual experience. She was invited to be part of the exhibition Art and Jewish Mysticism at the Jewish Museum in Amsterdam during 2019.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.
Abraham RubinISRAEL/USALawrence UniversityIn Pursuit of the Jewish Spirit: The Poetics and Politics of MetaphorDr. Abraham Rubin is currently a postdoctoral fellow at The Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Before coming to Jerusalem, he held postdoctoral positions at Lawrence University (2014-16) and Goethe University, Frankfurt (2016-18). His work on German-Jewish literature, culture and thought has appeared in such journals as The Jewish Quarterly Review, Literature & Theology and Jewish Social Studies.
Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014). His dissertation, Kafka’s German-Jewish Reception as Mirror of Modernity, explored the diverse and contradictory ways Jewish intellectuals in the interwar era interpreted Kafka’s fiction, and how their readings mirrored the transformations that occurred in Jewish self-understanding during that period.
He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

All were confronted with the same excruciating set of moral and political dilemmas, sometimes Jewish and sometimes universal. Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.
Abraham RubinISRAEL/USALawrence UniversityIn Pursuit of the Jewish Spirit: The Poetics and Politics of MetaphorDr. Abraham Rubin is currently a postdoctoral fellow at The Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Before coming to Jerusalem, he held postdoctoral positions at Lawrence University (2014-16) and Goethe University, Frankfurt (2016-18). His work on German-Jewish literature, culture and thought has appeared in such journals as The Jewish Quarterly Review, Literature & Theology and Jewish Social Studies.
Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014). His dissertation, Kafka’s German-Jewish Reception as Mirror of Modernity, explored the diverse and contradictory ways Jewish intellectuals in the interwar era interpreted Kafka’s fiction, and how their readings mirrored the transformations that occurred in Jewish self-understanding during that period.
He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations.

His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.

Karen WernerUSAGoddard CollegeStrange Radio: Dispatches from ViennaDr. Karen Werner received her Ph.D. in Sociology from Brandeis University in 2004 with a focus on contemporary activist artists. Beginning in 2013 she combined her sociological interests in activist art, autoethnography and documentary with a creative practice in radio art and public sound installation to create a series of broadcasts, installations and performances called Strange Radio about Holocaust postmemory in Vienna. Strange Radio was supported by the MFJC in 2017-18 with additional support from art residencies at studio das weisse haus and the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna. In 2018-2019, episodes of Strange Radio were commissioned by Österreichische Rundfunk (ORF), the national public broadcasting network in Austria, and by Tonspur Kunstverein Wien, which enabled Strange Radio to be a public sound installation for six months in city centers in Vienna and Maribor, Slovenia. Strange Radio was the centerpiece for a 2018 group exhibition called Karen Werner’s Haus Plus A Group Of Works Circling About Holocaust Postmemory And The Stranger at Vienna’s Mag3 Gallery; the exhibition brought together many contemporary Jewish and non-Jewish artists in Vienna looking at the multigenerational impact of the Holocaust in the city. Dr. Werner continues to develop Strange Radio episodes in new forms as an Artistic Research Fellow at the Department of Contemporary Art, University of Bergen, Norway.
In 2019-2020, Dr. Werner received a second grant from MFJC in support of her project Houdini: A Radio Opera, based on a musical play written by American poet Muriel Rukeyser. Dr. Werner’s radio art can be heard at karenwerner.net.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014). His dissertation, Kafka’s German-Jewish Reception as Mirror of Modernity, explored the diverse and contradictory ways Jewish intellectuals in the interwar era interpreted Kafka’s fiction, and how their readings mirrored the transformations that occurred in Jewish self-understanding during that period.
He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse.

The project funded by the Memorial Foundation examines the lives of eight Russian Jews who were born in the Pale of Settlement and bought into the Revolution.

Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations.

His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.

Karen WernerUSAGoddard CollegeStrange Radio: Dispatches from ViennaDr. Karen Werner received her Ph.D. in Sociology from Brandeis University in 2004 with a focus on contemporary activist artists. Beginning in 2013 she combined her sociological interests in activist art, autoethnography and documentary with a creative practice in radio art and public sound installation to create a series of broadcasts, installations and performances called Strange Radio about Holocaust postmemory in Vienna. Strange Radio was supported by the MFJC in 2017-18 with additional support from art residencies at studio das weisse haus and the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna.

Strange Radio was the centerpiece for a 2018 group exhibition called Karen Werner’s Haus Plus A Group Of Works Circling About Holocaust Postmemory And The Stranger at Vienna’s Mag3 Gallery; the exhibition brought together many contemporary Jewish and non-Jewish artists in Vienna looking at the multigenerational impact of the Holocaust in the city. Dr. Werner continues to develop Strange Radio episodes in new forms as an Artistic Research Fellow at the Department of Contemporary Art, University of Bergen, Norway.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014). His dissertation, Kafka’s German-Jewish Reception as Mirror of Modernity, explored the diverse and contradictory ways Jewish intellectuals in the interwar era interpreted Kafka’s fiction, and how their readings mirrored the transformations that occurred in Jewish self-understanding during that period.
He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

All were confronted with the same excruciating set of moral and political dilemmas, sometimes Jewish and sometimes universal. Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

She has received many awards and recognitions and was chosen to build the memorial to honor the victims of the terrorist attack of the Jewish Community building AMIA in Buenos Aires in 1994.
Mirta searches into her family history and Jewish culture in order to draw out of these sources a number of metaphors that go beyond the peculiarities of individual experience. She was invited to be part of the exhibition Art and Jewish Mysticism at the Jewish Museum in Amsterdam during 2019.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.
Abraham RubinISRAEL/USALawrence UniversityIn Pursuit of the Jewish Spirit: The Poetics and Politics of MetaphorDr. Abraham Rubin is currently a postdoctoral fellow at The Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Before coming to Jerusalem, he held postdoctoral positions at Lawrence University (2014-16) and Goethe University, Frankfurt (2016-18). His work on German-Jewish literature, culture and thought has appeared in such journals as The Jewish Quarterly Review, Literature & Theology and Jewish Social Studies.
Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014). His dissertation, Kafka’s German-Jewish Reception as Mirror of Modernity, explored the diverse and contradictory ways Jewish intellectuals in the interwar era interpreted Kafka’s fiction, and how their readings mirrored the transformations that occurred in Jewish self-understanding during that period.
He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.
Abraham RubinISRAEL/USALawrence UniversityIn Pursuit of the Jewish Spirit: The Poetics and Politics of MetaphorDr. Abraham Rubin is currently a postdoctoral fellow at The Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

His work on German-Jewish literature, culture and thought has appeared in such journals as The Jewish Quarterly Review, Literature & Theology and Jewish Social Studies.
Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014). His dissertation, Kafka’s German-Jewish Reception as Mirror of Modernity, explored the diverse and contradictory ways Jewish intellectuals in the interwar era interpreted Kafka’s fiction, and how their readings mirrored the transformations that occurred in Jewish self-understanding during that period.
He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

All were confronted with the same excruciating set of moral and political dilemmas, sometimes Jewish and sometimes universal. Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020).

The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.
Abraham RubinISRAEL/USALawrence UniversityIn Pursuit of the Jewish Spirit: The Poetics and Politics of MetaphorDr. Abraham Rubin is currently a postdoctoral fellow at The Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Before coming to Jerusalem, he held postdoctoral positions at Lawrence University (2014-16) and Goethe University, Frankfurt (2016-18). His work on German-Jewish literature, culture and thought has appeared in such journals as The Jewish Quarterly Review, Literature & Theology and Jewish Social Studies.
Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014). His dissertation, Kafka’s German-Jewish Reception as Mirror of Modernity, explored the diverse and contradictory ways Jewish intellectuals in the interwar era interpreted Kafka’s fiction, and how their readings mirrored the transformations that occurred in Jewish self-understanding during that period.
He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

For Dr. Fisher’s full research publications see: https://mishpat.academia.edu/NetanelFisher.
According to Fisher, “the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture’s support has played an essential role in carrying out my research and publication, and I am truly thankful for providing me this opportunity”.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand."

He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.
Abraham RubinISRAEL/USALawrence UniversityIn Pursuit of the Jewish Spirit: The Poetics and Politics of MetaphorDr. Abraham Rubin is currently a postdoctoral fellow at The Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

His work on German-Jewish literature, culture and thought has appeared in such journals as The Jewish Quarterly Review, Literature & Theology and Jewish Social Studies.
Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014). His dissertation, Kafka’s German-Jewish Reception as Mirror of Modernity, explored the diverse and contradictory ways Jewish intellectuals in the interwar era interpreted Kafka’s fiction, and how their readings mirrored the transformations that occurred in Jewish self-understanding during that period.
He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.
Abraham RubinISRAEL/USALawrence UniversityIn Pursuit of the Jewish Spirit: The Poetics and Politics of MetaphorDr. Abraham Rubin is currently a postdoctoral fellow at The Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

His work on German-Jewish literature, culture and thought has appeared in such journals as The Jewish Quarterly Review, Literature & Theology and Jewish Social Studies.
Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014). His dissertation, Kafka’s German-Jewish Reception as Mirror of Modernity, explored the diverse and contradictory ways Jewish intellectuals in the interwar era interpreted Kafka’s fiction, and how their readings mirrored the transformations that occurred in Jewish self-understanding during that period.
He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

Julie WeitzUSAIndependent ArtistMy Golem: Reimagining the Jewish Myth of Artificial IntelligenceJulie Weitz is an LA-based visual artist working in video, performance, and installation. Weitz's current project centers on her embodiment and portrayal of a futuristic folkloric humanoid, named My Golem. The character was created in 2017 for a series of Instagram videos that responded to rising antisemitism.

His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
He is the author of The Language of Nazi Genocide (Cambridge University Press, 2009) and the co-editor (with Jürgen Matthäus) of Beyond ‘Ordinary Men’: Christopher R. Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography.

He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

All were confronted with the same excruciating set of moral and political dilemmas, sometimes Jewish and sometimes universal. Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020).

The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.
Abraham RubinISRAEL/USALawrence UniversityIn Pursuit of the Jewish Spirit: The Poetics and Politics of MetaphorDr. Abraham Rubin is currently a postdoctoral fellow at The Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Before coming to Jerusalem, he held postdoctoral positions at Lawrence University (2014-16) and Goethe University, Frankfurt (2016-18). His work on German-Jewish literature, culture and thought has appeared in such journals as The Jewish Quarterly Review, Literature & Theology and Jewish Social Studies.
Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014). His dissertation, Kafka’s German-Jewish Reception as Mirror of Modernity, explored the diverse and contradictory ways Jewish intellectuals in the interwar era interpreted Kafka’s fiction, and how their readings mirrored the transformations that occurred in Jewish self-understanding during that period.
He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

For Dr. Fisher’s full research publications see: https://mishpat.academia.edu/NetanelFisher.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.
Alice NakhimovskyUSAColgate UniversityParallel Lives: Eight Jewish Paths through Soviet Jewry, 1890-1953Dr. Alice Nakhimovsky is a Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies and Russian and Eurasian Studies at Colgate University, where she teach courses, mostly literature, in both departments. The project funded by the Memorial Foundation examines the lives of eight Russian Jews who were born in the Pale of Settlement and bought into the Revolution. All were confronted with the same excruciating set of moral and political dilemmas, sometimes Jewish and sometimes universal. Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

In 2018-2019, episodes of Strange Radio were commissioned by Österreichische Rundfunk (ORF), the national public broadcasting network in Austria, and by Tonspur Kunstverein Wien, which enabled Strange Radio to be a public sound installation for six months in city centers in Vienna and Maribor, Slovenia. Strange Radio was the centerpiece for a 2018 group exhibition called Karen Werner’s Haus Plus A Group Of Works Circling About Holocaust Postmemory And The Stranger at Vienna’s Mag3 Gallery; the exhibition brought together many contemporary Jewish and non-Jewish artists in Vienna looking at the multigenerational impact of the Holocaust in the city. Dr. Werner continues to develop Strange Radio episodes in new forms as an Artistic Research Fellow at the Department of Contemporary Art, University of Bergen, Norway.
In 2019-2020, Dr. Werner received a second grant from MFJC in support of her project Houdini: A Radio Opera, based on a musical play written by American poet Muriel Rukeyser. Dr. Werner’s radio art can be heard at karenwerner.net

Thomas Pegelow-KaplanUSAAppalachian State UniversityEntreaties for Survival: Trans-European and Global Jewish Petitioning Practices During the ShoahThomas Pegelow Kaplan is the Leon Levine Distinguished Professor and Director of the Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies as well as Professor of History at the Department of History at Appalachian State University, North Carolina. His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
He is the author of The Language of Nazi Genocide (Cambridge University Press, 2009) and the co-editor (with Jürgen Matthäus) of Beyond ‘Ordinary Men’: Christopher R. Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography.

He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.
Alice NakhimovskyUSAColgate UniversityParallel Lives: Eight Jewish Paths through Soviet Jewry, 1890-1953Dr. Alice Nakhimovsky is a Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies and Russian and Eurasian Studies at Colgate University, where she teach courses, mostly literature, in both departments. The project funded by the Memorial Foundation examines the lives of eight Russian Jews who were born in the Pale of Settlement and bought into the Revolution. All were confronted with the same excruciating set of moral and political dilemmas, sometimes Jewish and sometimes universal. Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations.

His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014).

He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

Thomas Pegelow-KaplanUSAAppalachian State UniversityEntreaties for Survival: Trans-European and Global Jewish Petitioning Practices During the ShoahThomas Pegelow Kaplan is the Leon Levine Distinguished Professor and Director of the Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies as well as Professor of History at the Department of History at Appalachian State University, North Carolina. His research focuses on histories of violence, language, and culture in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s as well as the 1960s global youth revolts. He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
He is the author of The Language of Nazi Genocide (Cambridge University Press, 2009) and the co-editor (with Jürgen Matthäus) of Beyond ‘Ordinary Men’: Christopher R. Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Guy EhrlichIsraelTel-Aviv UniversityThe Specters of the Canon: Women Authors in Hebrew Literature (1900-1980)Guy Ehrlich is a Ph.D. candidate at Tel Aviv University and a researcher at the Kipp Center for Hebrew Literature and Culture. His dissertation focuses on the poetics of Israeli author Yehudit Hendel (1921-2014). His upcoming project aims to rethink the spectral presence of female authors in the canon of Hebrew literature by reintroducing central, recognized female authors, who despite their alleged canonical status have been marginalized in the national cultural memory. By adopting the recent theoretical discourse of “weak theory,” this project seeks to revisit the female Lineage of Hebrew Literature (1900-1980).

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

The project funded by the Memorial Foundation examines the lives of eight Russian Jews who were born in the Pale of Settlement and bought into the Revolution. All were confronted with the same excruciating set of moral and political dilemmas, sometimes Jewish and sometimes universal. Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography.

He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

He has taught at Grinnell College, Davidson College and De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. Pegelow Kaplan has been a research fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem; the Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University; the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung in Potsdam; the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism at the Technical University of Berlin; the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.; and the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.
Abraham RubinISRAEL/USALawrence UniversityIn Pursuit of the Jewish Spirit: The Poetics and Politics of MetaphorDr. Abraham Rubin is currently a postdoctoral fellow at The Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

His work on German-Jewish literature, culture and thought has appeared in such journals as The Jewish Quarterly Review, Literature & Theology and Jewish Social Studies.
Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014). His dissertation, Kafka’s German-Jewish Reception as Mirror of Modernity, explored the diverse and contradictory ways Jewish intellectuals in the interwar era interpreted Kafka’s fiction, and how their readings mirrored the transformations that occurred in Jewish self-understanding during that period.
He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico LuccaItalyLeibniz Institut for Jewish HistHugo Bergman`s Europe: A BiographyEnrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.
Alice NakhimovskyUSAColgate UniversityParallel Lives: Eight Jewish Paths through Soviet Jewry, 1890-1953Dr. Alice Nakhimovsky is a Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies and Russian and Eurasian Studies at Colgate University, where she teach courses, mostly literature, in both departments. The project funded by the Memorial Foundation examines the lives of eight Russian Jews who were born in the Pale of Settlement and bought into the Revolution. All were confronted with the same excruciating set of moral and political dilemmas, sometimes Jewish and sometimes universal. Looked at together, the eight lives are variations on capitulation and courage, acquiescence and breathtaking - though- ineffectual-outspokenness.
Leigh Nudelman SussmanSouth AfricaA bit of love or a bit of sun, a bit of luck or a bit of rain...and a bit of everythingSince completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Nabih BashirIsraelBirzeit UniversitySaadya Gaon's Commentary on Genesis (Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew)Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations. They approached ministerial bureaucracies in the capitals, regional administrative agencies, heads of state, leaders of ruling fascist parties, and even the Christian Churches. His work demonstrates how Jewish communities and families established widespread transnational networks that critically informed their petitions and played a crucial role in the petitioners' struggle for survival.
A first volume (co-edited with Wolf Gruner) entitled Resisting Persecution: Jews and their Petitions during the Holocaust will appear with Berghahn in June 2020.

Natan MeirISRAEL/USAPortland State UniversityRepublic of Beggars: The Jewish Destitute, Disabled and Dispossessed of EuropeNatan M. Meir is the Lorry I. Lokey Professor of Judaic Studies and Academic Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University. A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.

Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014).

He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Enrico has been working at the Dubnow Institute as a Research Associate since January 2018. He studied Philosophy and History at the University of Milan and completed his Phd in 2012. Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Research Associate at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University. His current book project aims to explore the biography and work of Shmuel Hugo Bergman (1883–1975), and elucidate his crucial position in the cultural, intellectual, and political life of pre-state Jewish and subsequently Israeli society.
Originally from Prague, where in the first two decades of the 20th century he led the Jewish-cultural renaissance of the local German speaking community, Bergman moved to Palestine, where he assumed an influential role within the yishuv. He soon became a leading institutional figure associated with the development both of the Jewish National Library (of which he was the first director) and the Hebrew University (where he served as the first rector). At the same time, in light of his active advocacy of bi-nationalism and Arab-Israeli dialogue, and by virtue of his participation in various other political and labor organizations, Bergman emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. The research will generate an intellectual biography that encompasses the multiple aspects of Bergman’s political, scholarly, and cultural activity.

Since completing a Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths College, University of London in 2008, Leigh has been showcasing creative works at various platforms throughout South Africa, New York City and Tel Aviv. Her longest-running artistic project, entitled 'A Bis'l Libe (A Bit of Love) which revives Yiddish songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, catapulted Leigh into the world of Jewish heritage and culture.
Her new project, funded by the MFJC borrows from the universal themes found in Yiddish songs, such as home, humor, resilience, love, belonging and migration, and uses these as a framework to investigate personal histories, cultures and narratives in post-apartheid South Africa. The performance, created in collaboration with a female artist of a different background to her white Jewish one will acknowledge te divide between them and then work to seam the two divergent worlds together. It may reveal the consequences of remaining separated as a society and will hopefully encourage mixed audiences to connect meaningfully.

Dr. Nabih Bashir grew up in Sakhnin, an Arab village between Tiberias and Acre. After briefly studying natural sciences, he realized that wasn't for him and immersed himself in political science, sociology and anthropology. "There is not one Jewish source in Arabic that an Arab reader can read and understand." Bashir believes that Arabs don't know what Judaism is and he wants people to better understand the Jewish religion. He also believes that The Arab world is aware that religion is playing an increasing role in Israeli political spheres and that the translation of the Talmud comes as people realize the one cannot understand the Jews and what's going on in Israel without understanding the religious sources. He plans to publish new Arabic transliteration of works by the Rambam, Rabbi Saadya Gaon and other medieval Jewish thinkers.

Browning and Holocaust Historiography (Ferdinand Schöningh Verlag, 2019) along with dozens of chapters and journal articles. One of his most recent research projects centers on trans-European Jewish petitioning practices during the Holocaust. Throughout German-controlled Europe, tens of thousands of Jewish community officials, ordinary members, Jewish converts to Christianity, and other men and women of partial Jewish heritage submitted entreaties to redress grievances and request support, for example, for an exemption from pending deportations.

A scholar of the social and cultural history of east European Jewry, he is the author of Kiev, Jewish Metropolis: A History, 1859-1914 (2010) and Stepchildren of the Shtetl: The Destitute, Disabled, and Mad of Jewish Eastern Europe, 1800-1939 (2020). He also serves as a museum consultant and leads study tours of Eastern Europe with Ayelet Tours. He was a fellow at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2016-17.
The writing of Stepchildren of the Shtetl was supported by a grant from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. In the book, Meir recovers the lived experience of Jewish society’s outcasts from the dawn of modernity to the eve of the Holocaust and reveals the central role that they came to play in the drama of modernization. Jewish marginal people were often made to bear the burden of the nation as a whole, whether as scapegoats in moments of crisis or as symbols of degeneration, ripe for transformation by reformers, philanthropists, and nationalists. Shining a light into the darkest corners of Jewish society in eastern Europe – from the often squalid poorhouse of the shtetl to the slums and insane asylums of Warsaw and Odessa, from the conscription of poor orphans during the reign of Nicholas I to the cholera wedding, a magical ritual in which an epidemic was halted by marrying outcasts to each other in the town cemetery – Stepchildren of the Shtetl reconsiders the place of the lowliest members of an already stigmatized minority.
Dr. Abraham Rubin is currently a postdoctoral fellow at The Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Before coming to Jerusalem, he held postdoctoral positions at Lawrence University (2014-16) and Goethe University, Frankfurt (2016-18). His work on German-Jewish literature, culture and thought has appeared in such journals as The Jewish Quarterly Review, Literature & Theology and Jewish Social Studies.
Dr. Abraham Rubin holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the City University of New York (2014). His dissertation, Kafka’s German-Jewish Reception as Mirror of Modernity, explored the diverse and contradictory ways Jewish intellectuals in the interwar era interpreted Kafka’s fiction, and how their readings mirrored the transformations that occurred in Jewish self-understanding during that period.
He is currently working on a monograph entitled Conversion and Apostasy in Modern Jewish Autobiography. The study asks how Jewish converts to Islam and Christianity forged their religious identities in relation to their Jewish backgrounds, and how their conversions paralleled and competed with other, more familiar Jewish responses to modernity such as assimilation, Zionism and Reform Judaism.
He received doctoral research grants from the MFJC during academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14.
