Event Description
Join the Program in Jewish Studies for the second colloquium in the fall series with Professor Eli Sacks.
Dr. Sacks joins CU as an assistant professor in Religious Studies this fall. He holds a Ph.D from Princeton University in Religion. His research focuses on the early modern and modern periods, with particular interest in Jewish thought, Jewish-Christian relations, philosophy of religion, religion and politics, hermeneutics, and religious ethics. His current project explores the conception of Jewish practice in the Hebrew and German writings of Moses Mendelssohn, the 18th century philosopher generally seen as the founder of modern Jewish thought. Sacks served as a translator for a new English edition of Mendelssohn's writings, which was a finalist for the 2011 National Jewish Book Award. He is currently working as a translator for a collection of works by the German-Jewish thinker Hermann Cohen.
