CFP Maor Vashamesh: History, Philosophy, Lore, and Legacy
Levi Cooper
Ariel Evan MayseA collection of scholarly studies in Hebrew on different aspects of one of the great hasidic masters, Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Halevi Epstein of Kraków (1751-1823), and his posthumously published seminal work: Maor Vashamesh (Breslau, 1842). This multi-disciplinary volume will include a variety of perspectives on the Maor Vashamesh and the author’s place in hasidic thought and history, presenting a mosaic of a central hasidic leader who has thus far not received sufficient scholarly attention. Proposals should be no longer than one page and should include: (1) name of author, (2) academic affiliation, (3) abstract of proposed article, and (4) brief biographical statement. Proposals should be emailed to maorvashamesh@gmail.com Deadline for submission of proposals: December 13, 2017. Final articles in Hebrew on the basis of accepted proposals to be submitted by June 1, 2018. Articles will be subject to double review before acceptance. A more detailed Hebrew version of this call is available.
