August 31 – September 1, 2021, Lviv
Organizer: Ukrainian Association for Jewish Studies
The conference is dedicated to the development of Eastern European Jewry at the border of traditional and modern worlds and to the special place of Ukrainian Jewry in the dialogue between them.
The modernization of the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe is associated with the interaction of two powerful movements – Hasidism and the Jewish Enlightenment (Haskalah). They formed the intellectual landscape of Ukrainian Jewry from the second half of the 18th century until the end of the 19th century.
Keynote speakers:
Prof. Marcin Wodziński (University of Wroclaw, Poland)
Prof. Shmuel Feiner (Bar-Ilan University, Israel)
The conference language is English.
