10 years ago we had an idea to make an online space to feature academic work about Jews and their neighbors in the ancient world. Feels like such a lifetime ago!
A little joy for the day because Ancient Jew Review is 10 Years Old! Advisory Board member Andrew Jacobs reflects upon AJR's founders and the past decade.

"Participants will reflect upon the dominant assumptions about the rabbis in the study of early Christianity that need affirmation, nuancing, critique, or rejection, as well as examine areas of early Christianity that demand greater recourse to rabbinic literature."
