Event: Workshop “Jews, the Qur’an, and Islam: Contacts and Influences,” 1-2 February, Copenhagen University. Online and in person.

We are pleased to share news of a workshop coming up at Copenhagen University next week. It has been organised by postdoctoral researcher Naima Afif as part of the ERC Synergy Grant project, the “European Qur’an. Islamic Scripture in European Religion and Culture’” (PI: Jan Loop, euqu.eu).

‘Jews, the Qur’an and Islam: Contacts and Influences will take place on 1-2 February 2023 in Copenhagen.

The workshop aims to explore how Jews approached the Qur’an and Islam from the Middle Age to the early modern period both in the lands of Islam and in Europe. Through various sources and textual genres ranging from polemics, exegesis to Qur’anic translations, we will discuss how Islam was perceived, how the Qur’an was used and how the Jews in some contexts were influenced by the material, textual and theological aspects of the Islamic tradition.

The workshop will include a keynote lecture by Susannah Heschel (Dartmouth College) on 1 February along with a public lecture by Joanna Weinberg (Oxford) on 2 February. The full programme can be accessed on the workshop website and all are welcome. Participation is possible in person and via Zoom.

Event: Att bygga judiskt liv i Sverige: synagogor, församlingar och arkitekter

torsdag 20 oktober 2022 kl. 14.15–16.00 via zoom

Daniel Leviathan, doktorand i judaistik, Lunds universitet

Zoom: https://uu-se.zoom.us/j/62468338646

Med invandringen av judar till Sverige på slutet av 1700-talet kom även uppförandet av de första synago- gorna i landet. Under 1800-talet och in i sekelskiftet kom en rad imponerande synagogor att byggas av de judiska församlingarna runt om i landet, i Stockholm, Göteborg, Norrköping, Karlstad och i Malmö. Vad kan dessa synagogors utseende och geografiska placering berätta för oss om församlingarna som byggde dem, och hur spelar valet av arkitekt in i det hela? Vad kan dessa aspekter berätta för oss om relationen mellan minoritet och majoritet i Sverige på 1800-talet och tidigt 1900-tal?
