Jewish Poland: A Materialized Settlement and a Metaphysical Landscape in Jewish Legends

Haya Bar-Itzhak, University of Haifa

In this lecture, Professor Bar-Itzhak deals with legends of origin of the Jews of Poland as a cultural production that constitutes an important object of scholarly study. These are place legends that center on Poland, and reveal how its Jewish inhabitants perceived it. From this angle, Poland as place is a cultural category and a space of Jewish consciousness. She will discuss the content, structure and functions of these legends, and the change they underwent in the post-Holocaust context.
