Description

Being foremost a Hebraist, I combined teaching and research of rabbinic and early modern Hebrew literature with introducing and explaining Jewish religion and culture to a mainly non-Jewish and Christian audience.
Beginning 2005 I retired from my post in Hebrew at Leiden University.
Mid-2007 I retired from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
