The deeply personal reflections of a giant of Jewish history. Scholar Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi (1932-2009) possessed a stunning range of erudition in all eras of Jewish history, as well as in world history, classical literature, and European culture. What Yerushalmi also brought to his craft was a brilliant literary style, honed by his own voracious reading from early youth and his formative undergraduate studies. This series of interviews paints a revealing portrait of this giant of history, bringing together exceptional material on Yerushalmi' s personal and intellectual journeys that not only attests to the astonishing breakthrough of the issues of Jewish history into "general history," but also offers profound insight into being Jewish in today' s world.
Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi (1932-2009) was one of the most eminent Jewish historians of the twentieth century. He was the Jacob E. Safra Professor of Jewish History and Sephardic Civilization at Harvard University, and from 1980, the Salo W. Baron Professor of Jewish History, Culture and Society at Columbia University. His publications include From Spanish Court to Italian Ghetto; Haggadah and History; The Lisbon Massacre of 1506 and the Royal Image in the Shebet Yehudah; Zakhor: Jewish History and Jewish Memory; and Freud' s Moses: Judaism Terminable and Interminable. Sylvie Anne Goldberg is associate professor at the Center for Historical Research, L' Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris, where she heads the Jewish Studies Program. She is the author of several books, including Crossing the Jabbok: Illness and Death in Ashkenazi Judaism in Sixteenth- through Nineteenth-Century Prague and Clepsydra: Essay on the Plurality of Time in Judaism. Benjamin Ivry is the author of biographies of Francis Poulenc, Arthur Rimbaud, and Maurice Ravel, as well as a poetry collection, Paradise for the Portuguese Queen. He has also translated books from the French by Andre Gide, Jules Verne, Witold Gombrowicz, and Balthus, among others, and has written extensively about culture for numerous media.
