Third Annual Fine Fellowship for the Study of the 10/27/18 Synagogue Attack
The synagogue attack that took place in Pittsburgh on 10/27/18 left many scholars and American Jews with lingering, urgent questions about antisemitism, violence, and trauma. To support inquiry into this pivotal event in American Jewish history, the Jewish Studies Program at the University of Pittsburgh, in partnership with the Rauh Jewish Archives at the Heinz History Center, announces the availability of the third Fine Fellowship for the study of the 10/27/2018 attack.
