Welcome Message
Dear Friends,
As we commence the spring quarter, I'd like to thank you for your past support, encouragement, and attendance. These are, as we all well know, trying times. It is our intention at the CJS to continue to present important and innovative research in Jewish studies to our various and overlapping constituencies: students, faculty and staff, and the broader community.
Our spring program offers a wide and diverse range of programs that we hope will be of interest to you. Quarter after quarter, year after year, I am amazed by the extraordinary diligence and dedication of our CJS staff, who make it all possible. Many thanks to all of them.
I look forward to seeing you at one of our events this spring. Please do pass along any thoughts, concerns, or suggestions to me at myers at history.ucla.edu.
David N. Myers
Professor and Director,
UCLA Center for Jewish Studies
