Thank you for visiting my web page. I hope you find some useful information on this website. If you are interested in contacting me, feel free to send me an email at jasonlustig@gmail.com. About MeAfter
growing up in Buffalo, NY, I spent a year studying in Israel at Hebrew
University and working as a gardener on an Israeli kibbutz. In May
2008, I graduated from Brandeis University cum laude
with a BA in Near Eastern & Judaic Studies and Computer Science. I
decided to remain at Brandeis to pursue a Masters degree in Judaic
Studies, focusing on the history of Zionism. I received my Masters in May 2009, and am pursuing a Ph.D. in History at UCLA.Research InterestsMy research interests center on Zionism and its critics. I wrote my masters thesis on anti-Zionist American Council for Judaism and the intellectual and organizational forces that secularized this originally Reform Rabbinical organization. I am also deeply interested in the thought of Simon Rawidowicz, and I plan to continue my research on Jewish nationalist thought that has been subsumed into Zionism as well as the relationship between Jewish life in 19th century Russia and the Yishuv. |  |
