  • The Sheikh’s Jews: Muslim-Jewish Relations in Interwar Algeria

    Hay Barn 94 Ranch View Road, Santa Cruz, CA, United States

    The Center for Jewish Studies presents, The Helen Diller Distinguished Lecture in Jewish Studies.

In this lecture, Professor Joshua Schreier will explore how the most prominent figure among Algerian […]
