Preface: Jewish Religious Architecture: From Biblical Israel to Modern Judaism.

Abstract

Jewish Religious Architecture is the first volume in a new series in Jews, Judaism, and the Arts inaugurated by Brill. Ilia Rodov of Bar Ilan University and I are the editors of the Jewish Art and Visual Culture section, bringing together the strengths of our two journals, Ars Judaica and Images: A Journal of Jewish Art and Visual Culture, in this joint publication project. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration, bringing scholars together in our joint project of exploring the visual in Jewish historical experience.(from Preface)
