Jews and Christians in the Medieval City

“Art, Archaeology, and Traces of the Past”

Join us for an evening with Barbara Boehm (the Met Cloisters), Debra Kaplan (Bar Ilan University), and Efraim Shocham-Steiner (Ben-Gurion University) exploring the recovery of a Jewish past in Christian cities in medieval Europe. This event is connected to the exhibit “The Colmar Treasure: A Medieval Jewish Legacy” (closing January 12, 2020) at the Met Cloisters, which features a cache of jeweled rings, brooches, and coins—the precious possessions of a Jewish family of medieval Alsace—hidden in the 14th century in the wall of a house in Colmar, France, and discovered in 1863.

All Fordham events in Jewish Studies are free.
