Hello, We would like to introduce a new title published by The Hebrew University Magnes Press and Mandel Scholion: The Interpretive Imagination Religion and Art in Jewish Culture in Its Contexts Edited by: Ruth HaCohen (Pinczower)<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Ruth+HaCohen+(Pinczower).aspx?name=Ruth+HaCohen+(Pinczower)>, Galit Hasan-Rokem<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Galit+Hasan-Rokem.aspx?name=Galit+Hasan-Rokem>, Richard I. Cohen<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Richard+I.+Cohen.aspx?name=Richard+I.+Cohen>, Ilana Pardes<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Ilana+Pardes.aspx?name=Ilana+Pardes> The papers collected in this volume represent the proceedings of a May 2011 conference organized by the 2008–2011 research group on ‘The Interpretive Imagination: Connections between Religion and Art in Jewish Culture in Its Contexts’ at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s Scholion Interdisciplinary Research Center for Jewish Studies—a center that owes its existence to the vision and the generosity of the Mandel Foundation. The four undersigned editors of this volume, all professors at the Hebrew University, were the senior members of the group, which also included five younger scholars: Dr.Yonatan Benarroch, Dr. Irina Chernetsky, Anat Danziger, Dr. Vered Madar, and Tehila Mishor. In its research and activities, the group attempted an integrated examination of the religious and the artistic, and of their aesthetic, experiential, and interpretive aspects—and the present volume exemplifies the work which was carried out during the years at Scholion.
