Program Schedule: Reader’s Instructions The program of the Congress is organized according to the six Congress divisions, with a few additional areas listed as mini-conferences (Latin American Jewry, Jewish Names, Masoretic Studies, and the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs). Some of the divisions have subdivisions (for example: Yiddish is a subdivision of Division D: Literatures, Languages and Arts). The Plenary session of each division or subdivision appears at the top of the list of sessions. For the sake of simplicity, each session has been assigned a three-digit number. The first digit represents the division: 1 = The Bible and Its World (Division A) 2 = History of the Jewish People (Division B) 3 = Rabbinic Literature, Talmud, Jewish Law and Jewish Thought (Division C) 4 and 5 = Literatures, Languages and Arts (Division D) 6 = Contemporary Jewish Society (Division E) 7 = Research and Technology Projects (Division F) 8 = Mini-Conferences The last two digits represent the session’s sequence in the program listings of its respective division (so, for example, Session 109 is the ninth session for Division A, The Bible and Its World). Sessions that pertain to two divisions or subdivisions are crosslisted under both fields. The language of each lecture is indicated by a letter in brackets according to the following index: (E) English (G) German (H) Hebrew (L) Ladino (P) Portuguese (R) Russian (S) Spanish (Y) Yiddish At the end of each Division/Subdivision’s program additional relevant sessions are listed. For your convenience, the program listings consist of a Daily Program schedule and a detailed Thematic Program schedule. Following these is an index by presenters, which lists every session in which a lecturer or a chairperson appears. A graphic presentation of the Congress’s structure is available.

The Princeton University Sefer Hasidim Database (PUSHD) will be available online beginning August 31, 2009. PUSHD presents an electronic version of all the available manuscripts and the first printed Bologna edition of Sefer Hasidim. The users of the database will be able to browse each of these sources separately and to search them for any word or phrase. Furthermore, all texts in the database are equipped with links that will allow the reader to easily locate and browse parallel passages in all manuscripts and the Bologna printed edition. Access is free with registration at https://etc.princeton.edu/sefer_hasidim Peter Schäfer and Michael Meerson, Princeton University The image above is adapted from a reproduction of a 10th century manuscript found in “Geschichte der Deutschen Literatur von den ältesten Zeiten bis zur Gegenwart,” edited by F. Vogd and M. Koch, Leipzig, 1904. The Hebrew text is taken from the Ambrosiana Sefer Hasidim manuscript.
