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\, Mar
 ch 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 WI
 JS at YINR.\n\nDr. Trapedo’s lecture is entitled “The Bard and the Heb
 rew 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 script
 ure\, particularly from the "Old Testament." Dr. Trapedo will explore mome
 nts when Shakespeare specifically turns to verses and narratives from the 
 Hebrew Bible to understand how his plays appealed to the collective consci
 ousness of his day and to what extent his timeless texts are shaped by Jew
 ish 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 deg
 ree at Barnard College and her PhD in English from UC Irvine\, where she s
 pecialized in early modern literature and religious studies. Her current b
 ook project\, From Scripture to Script: The Hebrew Bible on the Early Eng
 lish Stage\, considers Shakespeare and his contemporaries' indebtedness t
 o Judaism and its exegetical traditions. In her teaching and scholarship\,
  she explores the connections between literacy\, cultural identity\, and s
 ocial engagement.\n\nAll WIJS programming is open to women and men.  Plea
