Join us for a program with Dr. Nancy Sinkoff, Academic Director of the Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life at Rutgers University, as she examines how American Jews’ opinions on Israel have evolved across generations and explores the role of Academic Jewish Studies on college campuses today.
Dr. Sinkoff is a distinguished scholar of modern Jewish history and culture. She is the author of Out of the Shtetl and the award‑winning From Left to Right, and she has co‑edited Sara Levy’s World: Gender, Judaism, and the Bach Tradition in Enlightenment Berlin, Polish Jewish Culture Beyond the Capital: Centering the Periphery, and A Jew in the Street: New Perspectives on European Jewish History. She also curated an exhibition on Mendel Lefin of Satanów for POLIN: Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw. Over the course of her career, she has received fellowships from the IIE Fulbright Association, the Mellon Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, the National Foundation for Jewish Culture, the Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, Yale’s Beinecke Library, the Frankel Center at the University of Michigan, the American Jewish Archives, and the USC Shoah Foundation. She was recently elected to the American Academy for Jewish Research.
All donations from the event will go toward supporting the Bildner Center at Rutgers.
