The Western Wall — Judaism’s holiest site — occupies a prominent position in contemporary Jewish and Israeli discourse, current events, and local politics. The lecture entitled "The Western Wall: The Dispute over Israel's Holiest Jewish Site, 1967–2000" offers an exploration of the Western Wall plaza's evolution in the late twentieth century. The examination covers the role of archaeology in defining the space, the Western Wall's transformation as an Israeli and Jewish symbol, and the movement to open it to a variety of Jewish denominations.
Der Vortrag findet in Kooperation mit dem Zentrum für Israelstudien (ZIS) statt.
