Limmud Day, Sunday February
27th 2000
---------
Title: 'So When is Purim?'.
Abstract: We will look at the text of the
opening sugya of the Talmud, tractate Megilla. How and why was it written
the way it is? Does the Yeshiva need the University to read it, or does
the University need the Yeshiva?.
The Speaker: Dr. Solomon is Fellow in Modern
Jewish Thought at the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies and Lecturer
at the University of Oxford. He is also an Honorary Research Fellow at the
Centre for Jewish Studies at the University of Manchester, and will present
the Sherman lectures there in May 2001.
