About

This year鈥檚 IJS conference marks the 1100th anniversary of a famous controversy about the Jewish calendar that led the communities of the entire Near East and Egypt to celebrate Passover and the other festivals, through two full years, on different dates. This conference will investigate all kinds of controversies in medieval Jewish society: how medieval Jews argued, how their controversies were managed, how they sought to get them resolved. We will discuss sectarian, doctrinal, and halakhic controversies; private conflicts in daily life; and Jewish and Christian controversies. We will consider how communal authorities and non-Jewish rulers became involved in the resolution of controversies in all parts of medieval Jewry.
