SUMMARY:YINR - Women’s Initiative for Jewish Studies to Bring Dr. Shaina
 Trapedo via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Women’s Initiative for Jewish Studies (WIJS) at Young Israel
 of New Rochelle is proud to present Dr. Shaina Trapedo on Wednesday\, March
 6\, 2024 @ 8:15 pm (ET) on Zoom.  Trapedo will be the seventh speaker of
 the 2023-2024 season in the monthly scholarly programming offered by WIJS
 at YINR.\n\nDr. Trapedo’s lecture is entitled “The Bard and the Hebrew
 Bible.”  Shakespeare's deep familiarity with the Bible is apparent in
 over one thousand references throughout the plays that made him one of the
 most popular writers of the Elizabethan stage. And while his impact on the
 development of the Western literary tradition is undoubted\, scholars
 continue to ask why the bard saturated his dramatic scripts with
 scripture\, particularly from the "Old Testament." Dr. Trapedo will explore
 moments when Shakespeare specifically turns to verses and narratives from
 the Hebrew Bible to understand how his plays appealed to the collective
 consciousness of his day and to what extent his timeless texts are shaped
 by Jewish tradition.\n\nDr. Shaina Trapedo is an Assistant Professor of
 English at Stern College and a resident scholar at the Straus Center for
 Torah and Western Thought at Yeshiva University. She received her
 undergraduate degree at Barnard College and her PhD in English from UC
 Irvine\, where she specialized in early modern literature and religious
 studies. Her current book project\, From Scripture to Script: The Hebrew
 Bible on the Early English Stage\, considers Shakespeare and his
 contemporaries' indebtedness to Judaism and its exegetical traditions. In
 her teaching and scholarship\, she explores the connections between
 literacy\, cultural identity\, and social engagement.\n\nAll WIJS
 programming is open to women and men.  Please
