Jews and Samaritans in an Age of Transition

With Steven Fine, professor of Jewish History, Yeshiva University, and Director, Yeshiva University Center for Israel Studies. The transition from Byzantine rule to the world of Islam was monumental and complex for both of the Israelite traditions—Judaism and the lesser-known religion of the Samaritans. Explore the art and literature of Jews and Samaritans through evidence of cultural continuity and deep transformation in the experiences of these intertwined Late Antique minority cultures. Part of Sunday at the Met—Byzantium and Islam: Age of Transition.
