Ziva R. Hassenfeld is the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Assistant Professor in Jewish Education at Brandeis University, and Assistant Director of Research for the Mandel Center. Her research focuses on how children develop interpretations of the Hebrew Bible, investigations that connect her to the worlds of biblical hermeneutics, both contemporary and rabbinic, as well as literary theory and criticism. Join Hassenfeld in conversation with Jim Joseph Professor of Education and Jewish Studies Ari Y. Kelman about the relationships between education, interpretation, and the Bible. 

Co-sponsored with the Concentration in Education and Jewish Studies. 

Open to the public.
