The Cairo Genizah: From Synagogue Storeroom to Scholarly Revolution
Hosted By: Haberman Institute
The Haberman Institute for Jewish Studies presents a lecture on how the discovery of the Cairo Genizah transformed our understanding of Jewish history. Found in the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Cairo, the Genizah contains hundreds of thousands of discarded texts that reveal a vivid picture of Jewish life across the centuries. The program traces the story of its recovery and examines how these documents reshaped knowledge of rabbinic Judaism’s development.
