The Woolf Institute is delighted to announce that, together with the Center for the Study of Jews, Christians, Muslims at The Open University of Israel, it is hosting a conference, Tradition and Transition in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Cultures. The conference will begin on the evening of Sunday 24 June and run through to 26 June 2012. The conference assembles a range of international scholars and will focus on the following broad themes: Space, Family, Art & Music, and Exile. Each panel is accompanied by a reading group in which speakers present suitable texts (in the widest sense of the word) for further discussion. Conference highlights also include a Keynote Lecture by Ada Rapoport-Albert (UCL) on Judaism, Christianity and Islam in the Mystical-Messianic Doctrine of Jacob Frank and a lecture on Sephardi Songs from Muslim Lands given by UCL’s Hilary Pomeroy with musical illustrations from Lucie Skeaping and Jon Banks (of The Burning Bush, http://www.theburningbush.co.uk/).
