Conversion, Circumcision, and Ritual Murder: A Medieval Mystery, Unraveled

Join Paola Tartakoff, chair of the Rutgers Department of Jewish Studies, as she examines the links between conversion, circumcision, and accusations of ritual murder during the Middle Ages. The online talk is based on her new book Conversion, Circumcision, and Ritual Murder in Medieval Europe, which sheds new light on the mysteries of medieval anti-Judaism, religious conversion, and the predicaments of children whose identities were contested by Jews and Christians.
