The Herbert D. Katz Center
for Advanced Judaic studies underwrites the publication
of the Jewish Quarterly Review. This journal is part
of the Katz Center’s inheritance from Dropsie College
and the Annenberg Research Institute. Established in
1889, The Jewish
Quarterly Review is the oldest continuously published
English-language journal in the field of Jewish studies.
The journal continues to publish the finest work in
all areas of Jewish studies. |

The
Gruss Colloquium in Judaic Studies was inaugurated
in the spring of 1994. This year-end event provides
a forum for Katz Center fellows and distinguished guests to
present and debate the results of their research. Select
papers delivered at the colloquium and chosen from the
year's seminars are published under the editorship of
two of the fellows from the research group. As the culmination
of a year of intense study on a common research theme,
the colloquium volumes, ideally, define the state of
the field at its vibrant cutting edge. In 1998, Yale
University Press published the first volume of papers
drawn from the colloquium as part of the series Jewish
Culture and Society. Since 2002, the Katz Center has
joined with the University of Pennsylvania Press to
bring out the volumes as part of the series Jewish
Culture and Contexts.
Jewish Culture and Contexts, also publishes monographs
in all areas of Judaic Studies. The series' editorial
board is headed by David B. Ruderman, and is made up
of Richard I. Cohen, Moshe Idel, Deborah Dash Moore,
Ada Rapoport-Albert, Michael Swartz, and Alan Mintz.

At then
end of the Katz Center’s eleventh year, we compiled
a retrospective of the Katz Center’s mission and accomplishments.
The results were published in Breaking New Ground: Scholars
and Scholarship at the Center for Advanced Judaic Studies,
1993–2004. This collection, [available
here in PDF form] summarizes the theme of each fellowship
year, and lists each fellow along with their major publications
resulting from time spent at Katz Center. There are also several
short essays from fellows past.
The scholars that make up the Katz Center library staff
also have worked in partnership with the fellows each
year to produce a web exhibit that links the interests
of individual fellows with the library’s rich
resources. To wander through these virtual exhibits,
please visit the Library at the Katz Center.
