About the Book

A Centennial, writes Hebrew College President Rabbi Sharon Cohen Anisfeld, "is an invitation to reflect on the last century of teaching and learning at Hebrew College, to ask ourselves what has changed and what has endured, to explore accomplishments and share ongoing struggles, to articulate our aspirations for the next one hundred years." A compilation of captivating essays on Jewish studies alongside powerful personal memoirs from the College's earliest years until today, iddushim captures and celebrates the spirit of a learning community connected to its source and brimming with spiritual and intellectual creativity as it carries forward its legacy of rootedness and renewal into the future.
