DESCRIPTION:Professor Ted Fram from Ben Gurion University\, Israel\, will b
 e a visiting professor at the Faculty the week of February 25\, 2019. He w
 ill be giving a public lecture on “The Role of Jewish Law in the Courts of
  the Holy Roman Empire\, ca. 1785”\n\nAbstract\n\nWestern European Jewish 
 communities are generally thought to have been on the wane with the dawn o
 f the Enlightenment. Changes are thought to have weakened Jewish life and 
 law. An examination of legal history\, shows that this was not the case. J
 ewish law was well recognized by the state and legal practitioners in the 
 Holy Roman Empire. We will look at case brought before the Imperial Aulic 
 Court (Reichshofgericht) in the 1780s to prove this.\n\nAbout the speaker
 \n\nEdward Fram is a senior lecturer in the department of history at Ben-G
 urion University of the Negev. His major area of interest is the history o
 f Jewish culture in Eastern Europe in the pre-modern age\, with a focus on
  the history of Jewish law and how it was adapted to face new situations.
 \n\nA light lunch will be served.\n\n \n
