Alan Mintz Memorial Study Session

Join Minyan M’at for the annual Zoom teaching session in memory of our dear friend Alan Mintz, z”l. Alan was the Kekst Professor of Hebrew Literature at JTS and a longtime member of Ansche Chesed and Minyan M’at. This session commemorates Alan’s 9th yahrzeit.

The venerable Jewish community of Buczacz in Galicia became Alan Mintz’s adoptive home, and one of his proudest achievements was commissioning this multidimensional map for his book Ancestral Tales: Reading the Buczacz Stories of S.Y. Agnon (2017).

In this illustrated lecture, Alan’s lifelong friend and associate Prof. David G. Roskies, will situate Alan’s map within a long line of memory maps of the shtetl, from didactic to redemptive, from disenchanted to covenantal, which in turn can provide us with a cartography of the Jewish literary imagination.

RSVPs requested. Join us on Zoom.
