Resources for Learning More about the Cairo Geniza

Halper 142, University of Pennsylvania, Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies Library, Cairo Genizah Collection

One of the most frequently asked questions we get on the Scribes of the Cairo Geniza talk boards is learning more about the fragments and current research happening. Our priority is to share materials that are open-access to anyone. This list is not meant to be definitive, exhausting, or representative of all Geniza research! Feel free to email us at judaicadh@gmail.com with additional resources for this list.

As a reminder, this list is not meant to be definitive, exhausting, or representative of all Geniza research! Rather, they address the topics that frequently come up from volunteers.
