history, but the site operated
by the Dinur Center for
Research in Jewish History at Hebrew

establishing a yeshiva in Rome in the

A "Resources" section will get you
online syllabi from Jewish history
classes and information on libraries,
archives, bibliographies and archives.
There's also data on conferences,
grants and journals for Jewish histori-
ans and ordinary folks with an interest
in the subject.
This is a site that means business
no advertising, animated gimcracks
or pretty pictures. But the information
is attractively packaged, navigation is a
breeze and the information is first
rate.
