Upcoming Presentation
A hundred and twenty years ago a hidden storehouse of over 300,000 fragments of medieval Jewish manuscripts and documents were discovered in an old Cairo Synagogue. Today the most cutting-edge digital platforms and tools are being used to unlock the secrets of the past. Dr. Sacher will focus on the discovery of the Genizah, its importance, and how our past and our future fuse to make us who we are today.
Join us on August 2 for Dr. Sacher’s presentation “Jewish Time Discovery―The Discovery of the Cairo Genizah”.
