Heffers Bookshop, 20 Trinity Street Cambridge CB2 1TY. 18.00 – 19.00
Join authors Nick Posegay and Melonie Schmierer-Lee for a visual journey through over 125 years’ Cambridge Genizah research, complete with surprising tales of coexistence and interaction. Almost 1000 years ago, the Jews of Old Cairo began to place their worn-out books and scrolls into a hidden storage room - a genizah - of their synagogue. Over the years, they added all sorts of writings to the pile, sacred and secular texts alike. When the chamber was emptied at the end of the 19th century, it held hundreds of thousands of paper and parchment fragments. Now known as the “Cairo Genizah” , it has become one of the most important sources of knowledge for the history of the Middle East and the Mediterranean world. This book offers the first illustrated introduction to the unique collection of Cairo Genizah manuscripts at Cambridge University Library. …Glocestershire Humanists Open Event

…Wandering Jew Exhibition Launch
Lecture Theatre B Corridor, Avenue Campus Highfield Road Southampton SO17 1BF. 18.00 – 19.00
The Parkes Institute is delighted to host the launch of 'The Wandering Jew’ travelling exhibition, curated by Anoushka Alexander-Rose, with the support of Charlie Knight. Reframing the Wandering Jew from its origins in medieval Christian myth, this exhibition presents how the legend evolves across time and cultures. It draws on an expansive set of sources including Romantic and Gothic literature, Yiddish drama, Jewish visual art, Rabbinic sermons, Nazi and anti-Nazi film, and 21st century regenderings of the myth. A particular highlight is a specially commissioned print, ‘Flight’, by artist and sculptor David Hochhauser. These diverse forms and genres reflect the relevance of the Wandering Jew, both representing Jewish exilic experience but more widely universal themes of myth, migration and memory.
Come along to the Southampton launch of this exhibition before, much like the Wandering Jew, it travels across the UK. The curator will introduce the project and give a reading of the first translation of ‘Agasfer’ by Vladimir Nabokov, after which attendees are invited to explore the exhibition along with refreshments.
