WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN
ASSOCIATION FOR JEWISH STUDIES
Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Participants of the XIth Congress of the EAJS!
It is my great pleasure to welcome all of you to the XIth Congress of the European Association for Jewish Studies, which is taking place this year in Krakow!
The XIth Congress is devoted to all periods and fields of Jewish studies, with
the keynote theme: “SEARCHING FOR ROOTS OF JEWISH TRADITIONS”. I cannot imagine a better place, maybe except Eretz Israel, to search for the roots
of Jewish, especially Ashkenazi, traditions, than Poland.
I wish all of you an excellent time during the Congress, many inspiring discussions and a wonderful experience of the uniqueness of Kraków!
Prof. Edward Dąbrowa
President of EAJS | 2014 – 2018
For all of us involved in Jewish studies in Poland and particularly in Krakow it
has been an enormous recognition to be chosen as the location of the Congress.
For 30 years, Krakow has played a central role in the development and promotion of Jewish studies and Judaism in this part of Europe, but it also has a rich
Jewish heritage that makes this place unique.
EXCELLENCE & COOPERATION: THE EUROPEAN
ASSOCIATION FOR JEWISH STUDIES
The history of Jewish presence in Krakow can be traced back to more than
a thousand years ago and its material remnants can be seen to this day.
Almost the entire infrastructure of the old Jewish quarter of Kazimierz has been
preserved. There are also many towns, former shtetls, in the surroundings, that
witnessed vibrant Jewish life prior to 1939. Poland also has documentation of
the extremely important intellectual heritage of Polish Jews, which can be found in numerous archives, libraries, museums and collections (both institutional
and private) across the country. The opening in 2014 of the POLIN Museum in
Warsaw made this rich history available to the general public.
The European Association for Jewish Studies (EAJS) is delighted to greet all
speakers and participants at the XIth EAJS Congress in Kraków. The Association
is grateful to Professor Edward Dąbrowa and the Organising Committee for
hosting this largest event in Jewish Studies in Europe. It is particularly meaningful to meet in Poland, which was the arena of memorable developments in
Jewish civilisation, but also the place of utter devastation. Today, it is also one
of the most dynamic European centers of academic Jewish Studies, with successful university programmes and research centers.
The pre-war tradition of Jewish studies and international support from Israel,
Great Britain and the United States resulted in the establishment in 1986 of the
first Research Center on Jewish History and Culture in Poland, located at the
Jagiellonian University in Krakow, which eventually developed into the Institute
of Jewish Studies. For over 30 years, the institute has promoted research and
education, inspiring hundreds of students and scholars. The Institute of Jewish
Studies and some other departments of the Jagiellonian University have played
an essential part in the revival of interest in the Jewish past in Krakow and in
Poland as a whole.
With over one thousand three hundred members, the EAJS is by far the largest
academic association in Jewish Studies in Europe. The EAJS supports academic
excellence in the many subfields which constitute Jewish Studies, and systematically encourages cooperation across borders. Indeed, its cross-border character reflects the very dynamic of European Jewish civilisation over the centuries.
In its beginnings – it was founded in 1981 – the main task was to map the
academic field of Jewish Studies and to host yearly colloquia to allow colleagues from different countries and disciplinary contexts to meet, most importantly
during the EAJS Congresses taking place every four years. Right from the start
8
9
and to this day, the Executive Committee of the EAJS would comprise colleagues representing different regions and areas of expertise in Jewish Studies.
Generous support for its core activities came from the Rothschild Foundation
Hanadiv Europe (RFHE), which allowed the EAJS among others to employ
a part-time administrator. The Association began to take on more responsibilities, such as systematically reviewing and publishing funding opportunities
for academic activities in Jewish Studies, resulting in the Funding Information
Advisory Service (FIAS), accessible to all EAJS members online. Moreover, the
European Journal of Jewish Studies (EJJS), edited by Professor Giuseppe Veltri,
is sponsored by the EAJS. Its wide range of topics and disciplinary perspectives
reflects the ecumenical character of the Association. Members can subscribe to
the journal at a generous discount – please consult the dedicated page in this
brochure to find out more.
Moreover, the Association supported the establishment of the EAJS Digital
Forum, a new arena to reflect on Digital Humanities in relation to Jewish
Studies, represented by two panels at this Congress.
As the share of graduate and research students among the members of the
EAJS is continuously growing (there are more than three hundred of them at
present), the Association initiated the two EAJS Emerge panels - a forum with
short presentations about ongoing research projects, and an opportunity to
think about funding and networking at the beginning of an academic career.
The European Association for Jewish Studies wishes all participants most
fruitful proceedings and a pleasant stay in Krakow.
Dr François Guesnet
Secretary and Director
In recent years, the activities of the EAJS have significantly diversified. Most
importantly, funding for academic events is available to its members through
conference grant programs, notably the EAJS Conference Grant Programme in
European Jewish Studies, which continues to support academic excellence and
Europe-wide cooperation. It is also funded through the RFHE. Since 2016, the
EAJS has encouraged the emergence of a network of scholars engaging in the
study of Jewish history and culture in southeastern Europe. This network will
proudly present a mini-conference with nine panels at this Congress.
In 2017, the EAJS organised a workshop in Girona, E Pluribus Unum-Multidisciplinarity in Jewish Studies Teaching and Research, which included participants
from a dozen European countries, the United States and Israel, with funding
from the ‘Stiftung Erinnerung, Verantwortung, Zukunft’ (Berlin). The momentum of this discussion continues at this Congress with a panel chaired by Professor Martin Goodman, which will hopefully lead to further events reflecting
on academic teaching in Jewish Studies.
In cooperation with the World Union of Jewish Studies, the EAJS offered
a travel bursary programme to allow members to apply for support to attend
the World Congress in Jewish Studies, held in Jerusalem in August 2017.

1. Exhibition Opening: “The History of the Jews of Kraków.
Sources from the collection of the National Archive in Kraków”
/Sunday, 15 July, 15.00 – 16.00/
JU Auditorium Maximum, Krupnicza 33, Underground Space
The National Archives in Kraków has extensive collections
documenting the history of the Jewish community of Kraków,
whose representatives inhabited three districts which once
constituted three separate cities: Kraków, Kazimierz, and
Podgórze. In the majority of cases, these are documents issued
by the organs of the local authorities and administration. The
exhibition was prepared as an event to accompany the XIth
Congress of the European Association for Jewish Studies
(15-19 July 2018), and the primary goal is to present the
richness of the collections contained in the National Archives
in Kraków to a broad target audience.

of National Museum in Kraków”
/Thursday 19 July, 19.00 – 21.00/
National Museum Kraków, Aleja 3 Maja 1, Ground Floor
National Museum Krakow is in possession of one of the most
interesting Judaica collections in Poland, consisting of not
only objects of artistic craft, but also textiles, antique books
and numismatics. Thanks to its diversity, the collection allows
for a thorough knowledge of the Jewish holidays and rituals
celebrated by Polish Jews. During the opening ceremony, you
will have the opportunity to learn about the history of this
extraordinary collection and recognise its greatest treasures.
2. A Night in Kazimierz
/Monday, 16 July, 20.00 – 22.00/
Kazimierz Historic District of Kraków
Kazimierz, established in 1335 in the direct vicinity of Kraków,
was open to the settlement of Jewish people. Over the course
of subsequent centuries, the local community developed,
experiencing an influx of Jewish residents of Kraków and
newcomers from other centres across the country and beyond.
Despite the passage of time, the district continues to be the
centre of religious and cultural life. We invite you to visit the
most vibrant Jewish places of Kazimierz, including:
– Galicia Jewish Museum, Dajwór 18
– Jewish Community Centre JCC Kraków, Miodowa 24

Archiwum Narodowe w Krakowie
ma już 140 – letnią instytucjonalną
tradycję. Jest sukcesorem działającego
od 1878 roku Krajowego Archiwum
Aktów Grodzkich i Ziemskich w
Krakowie (późniejszego Archiwum
Państwowego w Krakowie) oraz
istniejącego w latach 1887 – 1952
Archiwum Aktów Dawnych Miasta
Krakowa. Zasób Archiwum Narodowego w Krakowie to ponad 25 kilometrów akt. Obejmuje archiwalia od
dwunastowiecznych po współczesne i
jest jednym z największych i najcenniejszych w kraju. Archiwum ma
charakter otwarty i wciąż gromadzi
materiały przekazywane przez instytucje państwowe, samorządowe, stowarzyszenia, urzędy stanu cywilnego,
instytucje gospodarcze i osoby prywatne, głównie z terenu Małopolski.
Oprócz kilku oddziałów położonych
na terenie Krakowa posiada oddziały zamiejscowe: w Bochni, Nowym
Sączu i Tarnowie oraz ekspozytury w
Nowym Targu i Spytkowicach. Obok
gromadzenia, opracowywania i udostępniania materiałów archiwalnych
zadaniem Archiwum Narodowego w
Krakowie jest nadzór nad powstawaniem i przechowywaniem dokumentacji oraz profilaktyka konserwatorska.
Archiwum prowadzi także prace
naukowe oraz wydawnicze w zakresie
historii i archiwistyki, popularyzuje
wiedzę o materiałach archiwalnych i
archiwach oraz podejmuje aktywność
edukacyjną i informacyjną. Obecnie
trwa budowa nowego gmachu przy ul.
Rakowickiej 22, spełniającego współczesne standardy przechowywania,
zabezpieczania oraz udostępniania
dokumentacji.
The National Archives in Krakow
already have an institutional tradition
reaching back 140 years. They are the
successor of the National Archives of
Land Records in Krakow, operating
from 1878 (later the State Archives in
Krakow), as well as the Krakow Town
Archives of Former Records, which
existed in the years 1887 – 1952. The
resources of the National Archives in
Krakow consist of over 25 kilometres of
records. This includes archival records
dating from the twelfth century until
modern times, and is one of the largest
and most valuable in the country.
The Archives are still open and collect
materials handed over by state and
local government institutions, societies,
registry offices, economic institutions
and private individuals, mainly from
the area of Małopolska. In addition to
a few branches in Krakow, there are
also local branches in: Bochnia, Nowy
Sącz and Tarnow, as well as expositions
in Nowy Targ and Spytkowice. Besides
collecting, safeguarding and providing
access to archival materials, the task
of the National Archives in Krakow is
supervision of the establishment and
storage of documentation as well as
conservation work. The Archives also
conduct scientific and publishing work
in the areas of history and archiving,
popularise knowledge about archival
materials and undertake educational
and informational activities. Currently,
new headquarters at 22 Rakowicka Street are under construction. The building
will meet modern standards for storing,
safeguarding and providing access to
documentation.

ROUNDTAbLES, WORKSHOPS AND DEbATES
0.5.EAJS Roundtable: Teaching Jewish History and Culture
at Universities: Exchange of Experiences and New Visions
JU Auditorium Maximum, Krupnicza 33, Medium hall
The aim of this roundtable is to find means and ways
to improve the teaching of Jewish studies in Europe by
developing new or improving existing programs of Jewish
studies, focusing mainly on the history and culture of
Eastern European Jewry. We set out to discuss how to
provide balanced, high quality study programs for future
young scholars and to ensure their existence in the future.
We will also discuss how to make the study of East European
Jewry dynamic, global and engaged with the teaching
of East European History, both local and general.

0.8.I/II Session I Humanities in the Mirror: Writing
Jewish History in a Digital Key
/Monday, 16 July, 17.00 – 19.00/
JU Auditorium Maximum, Krupnicza 33, Exhibition Hall, room B
This panel aims to discuss the meta questions and to consider
the implications of Digital Humanities (DH) methods for our
perspectives on Jewish history. One of the most promising aspects
of DH is the concept of big data, which enables us to study and
analyze vast corpora of texts. This panel wishes to address the
54
question whether DH corpora and methods will enable us
to find a new common ground in the field of Jewish history,
which nowadays is characterized by national, regional and
local specializations, specific thematic angles and, to greater
and lesser extents, a fragmentation of the historical image.
Will DH enable us to develop a broader grasp of Jewish
history, without returning to the normative reductionism and
structuring ideologies of Graetz, Baron and Dubnow, and
without losing the subtle potential of post – modern binaries
and other productive recent categories?
One of the main topics this panel will address is if and how DH
will further enable us to study continuity (in all its complexity),
the average, the ‘standard’ and ‘norm’ in Jewish culture. The
possibility to study ‘big data’ may open new possibilities to
trace long – term processes, continuities and developing
‘normativities’ on a systematic scale. With history generally
concentrating on change, this ‘average turn’ may have its
implications: can we perhaps begin to rethink such well – worn
oppositions as tradition versus modernity, process versus
decision making, and to fundamentally reconsider historical
categories like periodization, spatiality, mise en intrigue,
agency, etc.? Organized as an interactive ‘think tank’ rather
than a series of papers, this panel wants to open the debate
on what Jewish historiography might look like when we start
writing it in a digital key.

3. Discussion
0.8.II/II Session II: New Philologies: Hebrew Manuscript
and Print Cultures in a Digital Key
/Monday, 16 July, 14.30 – 16.00/
JU Auditorium Maximum, Krupnicza 33, Exhibition Hall, room A
Recent years have seen a resurgent interest in critical
philologies, with numerous new conceptual approaches
addressing their potential to elucidate text cultures, their
languages and their social and political contexts in widely
conceived vertical or horizontal frameworks (such as “deep
time” or “world literature”). This new interest in the future
of philology is partially linked to the new technical and
analytical possibilities offered by the Digital Humanities.
This panel pursues two aims: it will invite participants to reflect
on promises as well as issues that these new developments
raise for Jewish Studies in terms of concepts and methods,
and it will provide a forum for all those with projects in
progress or project ideas that combine philological and digital
approaches to discuss research directions, practical questions
and opportunities for cooperation and exchange. Options for
developing a systematic and academically driven approach to
improving OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for Hebrew
scripts will form a further practical focus.
