Index of Newspaper Articles and Public Addresses |
| Since 1987 I have been publishing articles on topics related to Judaism
and related areas in the Calgary Jewish newspapers. Until April 1990 in the
Jewish Star, , from November 1990 to December 2019 in
the Jewish Free Press, and since January 2020 in the Alberta Jewish News. These have usually been in my column
"From the Sources"
Although these articles are often based on extensive scholarship and research, they are intended for the enjoyment and enlightenment of a non-specialist audience. I have grouped the titles here according to general topics.
Please note that, owing to the nature of the newspaper format, many of these
pieces make implicit or explicit references to current or local events.
Sometimes a glance at the publication date will suffice to clarify the
circumstances in question, but sometimes you just have to guess.
Publication history and bibliographic references can be found by following up
the hyper-notes at the beginning of each article.
I also get occasional invitations to deliver guest lectures and sermons in churches, adult education programmes, etc. I have now included the texts of those talks and sermons at this site as well.
