I am a senior lecturer at the Department for Jewish Thought and the History Department at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. My fields of interest are the history of philosophy and science in Jewish cultures in the Middles Ages and early modern times within its context in the Islamicate and Christian Worlds, the intellectual history of the Jewish in late Antiquity, Christian-Jewish relations and Christian Kabbalah (Johannes Reuchlin) and the history of 19th-century Wissenschaft das Judentums (Science of Judaism). I am co-directing together with Prof. Giuseppe Veltri (Hamburg) the project for the construction of a digitized thesaurus of pre-modern Hebrew terminology in philosophy and science “PESHAT in Context” (www.peshat.org).
