Thanks to the generosity of Tad Taube and Taube Philanthropies, the Taube Prizes for Student Writing in Hebrew and Jewish Studies for postgraduate students were offered for the second time this year. We received eighteen excellent submissions across numerous areas of Hebrew and Jewish Studies, and the committee selected the following recipients for the prize:
-Rose Stair: Paternal Displacement and the Maternal Sphere: Parenthood in jungjüdisch Thought
-Giovanna Truong: 96 Ways to Address a Letter: On Linguistic Stratification in Sholem Aleichem’s Marienbad
The committee highly commended the following submissions:
-Hannah Bash: Writing, Orality, and Materiality in the Deir ˁAlla Plaster Inscription
-Pia A. S. Regensburger: Theosis and Theological Anthropology in 4 Maccabees
-Sarah Wisialowski: Daniel 9
Many congratulations again to the students for their wonderful submissions.
