Judaica Lecture Series
Bridwell Library of the Perkins School of Theology brings the
Dallas
community lectures by scholars in diverse fields of Jewish studies every year.
The program began in 1993 through the efforts of former J.S.
Bridwell Endowed Librarian, Valerie R. Hotchkiss, and leaders in the
Jewish community. Founded in a spirit of cooperation, the
program provides Bridwell Library with an opportunity to reach
beyond SMU to the larger community, and encourage interest in the
Library's programs and holdings. Library holdings of interest to
scholars of Judaism include a Kai'feng Torah Scroll, a Holocaust
Torah Scroll from Westminster, Hebraic incunabula and many examples
of early printing.
