    The semester, or rather the year, is almost over. Just a few classes are left. It is a crunch time, but also a time to celebrate students' achievements. Since 2010 we have celebrated and showcased students projects in Jewish and Israel Studies. Some students will indeed graduate with the Jewish and Israel Studies Certificate, but some of our students are engaged in research and creative projects contributing to Jewish and Israel Studies without getting the certificate. Come and join us! Learn about politics of trees in Israel/Palestine; folklore among Jews from Europe and Arab countries; Holocaust memory and family history; women and Jewish liturgical practices; rhetoric of otherness against Jews and Muslims in Europe; bioethics and Jewish law! And much more. Come and get inspired to do creative work in Jewish and Israel Studies. Reception will follow.
