OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Dr Mirsky, born in Jerusalem, studied in Yeshiva for 6 years, and served in the Yom Kippur war during which he was wounded in operation Shlom Hagalil. His academic studies were at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem for first, second and third degrees. The subject of his thesis was Hebrew Grammar in the 10th century. He published the book “The Grammatical Theory of Mahberet Menahem” – the first dictionary written in Spain by Menahem ben Saruq. Unlike previous biblical dictionaries which were written in Arabic, The Mahberet was written in Hebrew and was accepted by the Jewish communities in Latin Europe who did not know Arabic. He has been working on a new edition of Mahberet Menahem, based on 39 manuscripts and Genizah fragments, to be published by the Academy of the Hebrew Language.
Buffet Reception from 19:00 – please RSVP for buffet to info@oxfordchabad.org
