David S. Lobel Visiting Scholar in Jewish Studies

The David S. Lobel Visiting Scholar in Jewish Studies Fund supports the annual lecture which brings scholars whose academic foci includes the study of the Bible, Jewish mysticism, and/or Jewish philosophy and theology in the ancient, medieval, and modern periods, especially for students who are interested in deepening their understanding of Judaism. For the academic years of 2020/2021-2021/2022, we welcomed Dr. Orit Malka as the David S. Lobel Postdoctoral Fellow, piloting a Visiting Scholar program that enables the scholar to participate in our scholarly community by teaching courses, attending events, and offering mentorships and workshops in addition to public lectures.
