Cultures of Wissenschaft des Judentums at 200
PaRDeS, the journal of the German Association for Jewish Studies, aims at exploring the fruitful and multifarious cultures of Judaism as well as their relations to their environment within diverse areas of research.

›Arbeit des Himmels‹
Die Studie beschäftigt sich mit Konzeptionen des rituellen Schreibens der STaM (Sifrei Torah, Tefillin, Mezuzot) im pluralistischen Kontext der europäischen Kultur Frankreichs und Deutschlands vom 11. bis 14.
