La Belle Juive, The Beautiful Jewess
Hosted By: Orange County Jewish Community Scholar Program ("CSP")
The Orange County Jewish Community Scholar Program presents a series exploring the evolving image of La Belle Juive—the beautiful Jewess—as it emerged in medieval art and literature and later became linked to antisemitic tropes in modern European culture. These depictions cast Jewish women as both alluring and threatening, embodying tensions between admiration and prejudice. The program focuses on four creative women whose lives and work illuminate questions of identity, cultural transformation, and the role of Jewish women in shaping the modern world.
