This series focuses on literary, musical, and artistic expressions of modern Jewish life, and has benefited from the guidance of editor Ken Frieden, the B.G. Rudolph Professor of Judaic Studies at Syracuse University, since 1994. The series publishes books that bridge the gap between academic scholarship and general readers. The Judaic Traditions series welcomes original manuscripts pertaining to modern Hebrew and Yiddish writing, European and American Judaic literature, Jewish music, art, architecture, and film.
