Cultural archaeology of Jews and Slavs: medieval and early modern Judeo-Slavic interaction and cross-fertilization

Scientific project. — Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 2011. — 106 p.While previous studies dedicated to Judeo-Slavic dialogue considered Jews and Slavs as two separate entities divided by religious, social, cultural, ethnic, and linguistic barriers, this research group will operate on an opposite assumption—that the barriers between Jews and Slavs were porous, that religious differences quite often enhanced the exchange, and that some subfields such as elite and popular cultures were more susceptible to cross-fertilization than for example political discourse, therefore similarities between them overran the differences.
