The Jewish Museum in Prague's first Annual Lecture
Almost nine decades ago, Ruth Kestenberg (Gladstein) suggested that the Hussite reform movement, which emerged in Bohemia at the turn of the fifteenth century, drew inspiration from the local Jewish community’s thriving religious life. The possibility of intellectual and religious contacts between the Jews and the Hussites has been since examined by several scholars.
The lecture will revisit this question and, simultaneously, broaden its scope. Utilizing newly available manuscript evidence, the lecture will examine the intellectual profile of the late medieval Jewish community of Prague in the context of its interactions with contemporary religious discourses – Jewish and Christian alike. By analyzing the works and attitudes of three prominent scholars – Yom Tov Lipman Mühlhausen, Menaḥem Shalem, and Avigdor Kara – who were active in Prague in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries, it will trace motifs and interests that shaped Jewish intellectual life of the city in this period.
