This $174,997 Project Grant awarded on January 1, 2025 by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Professional Development program (CFDA 45.163) will support an institute hosted by Case Western Reserve University and the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. The institute will examine the evolution of Jewish print culture, combining scholarship, archival work, and hands-on letterpress printing to enrich participants' work and provide tools to invigorate teaching in this area. The institute aims to advance scholarship, develop innovative teaching strategies, and create curriculum resources focused on the material features and global spread of texts printed in the Hebrew alphabet during the early modern period. The project will bring together humanities educators and researchers to enhance their understanding of this important aspect of print culture.
