Dear Colleagues:
Please join us for the Friday Public Affairs Lunch
Discussion on Friday, February 25, in Crawford Hall Room
14. It should be a real pleasure to hear from Zev
Garber, Rosenthal Visiting Professor of Judaic Studies,
on “Forty Years Since Nostra Aetate: Reappraising a
Generation of Catholic-Jewish Dialogue.” And I suspect
the subject will give us a lot to talk about.
Professor Garber is this year’s distinguished visitor to
campus through the auspices of the Samuel Rosenthal
Center for Judaic Studies. He holds degrees from the
University of Southern California, University of Judaism
(Los Angeles), and Hunter College. He chairs the program
in Jewish Studies at Los Angeles Valley College, where
he has served since 1970. He is a prolific author of
books and articles, including most recently Double
Takes: Thinking and Rethinking Issues of Modern Judaism
in Ancient Contexts (Lanham, MD, 2004: University Press
of America). He has written extensively on the
holocaust, including Shoah, The Paradigmatic Genocide:
Essays in Exegesis and Eisegesis (Lanham, MD, 1994:
University Press of America)
We gather at 12:30 p.m. with beverages (I hope), cookies
(I promise!) and good conversation (I’m sure).
Best regards,
Joe White
