us at the end of the month. Our scholar in residence will be Rabbi

Abroad (CASA) III research fellowship for the Spring 2006 semester for
study at the American University of Cairo, funded by the Fulbright

His specialties are early Islam and its relationship with Jews and
Judaism, scriptural interpretation of the Bible and Qur'an, and the
phenomenon of holy war.
