[img]http://www.nd.edu/%7Etheo/images/banner_main_2.jpg[/img]Michael A. Signer (B.A., UCLA, 1966; M.A., Hebrew Union College, 1970; Rabbinic Ordination, Hebrew Union College, 1970; Ph.D., University of Toronto, 1978) Abrams Professor in the Department of Theology and a Senior Fellow of the Medieval Institute
Rabbi Signer is Director of the Notre Dame Holocaust Projectââ¬âan interdisciplinary faculty group that designs educational opportunities for students to engage in the study of the Shoah. Since 1998 he has been co-chair of the Joint Commission on Interreligious Affairs of the Reform movement.
Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Notre Dame in 1992, Rabbi Signer served as Professor of Jewish History at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Los Angeles from 1974-1991. At the College-Institute he taught courses in Jewish History, Jewish Liturgy and Jewish Biblical Commentaries. In 1995 Signer received a Doctor of Divinity honoris causa from Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion.
His interest in interreligious affairs began during his doctoral studies at the Center for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto where he wrote his dissertation on Andrew of St. Victor, a twelfth-century Christian Hebraist, under the direction of Rev. Leonard E. Boyle, OP. When he arrived in Los Angeles, he participated in the Priest-Rabbi dialogue and was one of the founders of the St. John's Major Seminar-Hebrew Union College academic exchange. He taught Bible courses at St. John's Seminary where priests for the Los Angeles Archdiocese are trained. In addition to developing that program, he organized a series of retreats for seminary faculty from Jewish, Catholic and Protestant institutions in California. He has taught at the Institut Kirche und Judentum at Alexander von Humboldt University in Berlin and at the Catholic Theology Faculty in the University of Augsburg. In addition, he was American Jewish Committee Scholar at Catholic Institutions of Higher Education in Poland at Warsaw, Lublin, Wroclaw, and Poznan. After the initial experience in Poland, he has organized international seminars at the Center for Dialogue and Prayer in Auschwitz and the Pontifical Academy of Theology in Krakow.
Rabbi Signer is the author and editor of five books on topics that range from Medieval Latin biblical commentaries to contemporary Jewish-Christian relations such as Humanity at the Limit: The Impact of the Holocaust Experience on Jews and Christians; Memory and History in Judaism and Christianity; Jews and Christians in Twelfth-Century Europe. He is one of the four authors of Daberu Emet: A Jewish Statement on Christians and Christianity. He has written articles for the Oxford Dictionary of Judaism, the Encyclopedia of Medieval France, and the Encyclopedia of St. Augustine.

[QUOTE=Knute]Stigmata,
I have been noticing a goodly amount of Holocost Studies being conducted in religion departments. [/QUOTE]Interesting observation, Knute. Perhaps the Catholics, like their elder brothers in Christ, fear the historical method will catch up with the Holohoax and want to put it beyond rational analysis, protected like the rest of the Semitic religions by the mantra "I believe because it is absurd."

| Department of Religious Studies |
| **Terminal Degree:** M.Phil., Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati, 1989 |
| **Biography:** Judith Bluestein grew up in Cincinnati. She majored in Classical Studies as an undergraduate and taught Latin for many years. Her interests focus upon the Ancient Mediterranean World. She has an M.A. in Religion (New Testament and Christian Origins) and an M.A. in Latin, both from Case Western Reserve University. At Xavier University she earned an M.Ed. She studied at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati where she earned an M.A.H.L., was ordained a rabbi, and completed a M.Phil. in Hebraic and Cognate Studies. |
| **The Faculty Perspective:** I suppose that I would be a professional student if that were possible. Since it is not, teaching provides the same excitement, for one continues to learn whil teaching. It is always exciting watching students "make connections" as well as find areas of interest which enrich their lives along with their minds. |
| **Research Interests:** Rabbinics (post-biblical literature, history, and culture); Hebrew Bible; the Ancient Mediterranean World. |
