On Tuesday, September 13, 2011, the College of Arts and Sciences hosted the 2011 Solomon-Tenenbaum Lectureship in Jewish Studies,"Sage Tales: The Power of Rabbinic Story and what it can teach us today". The lecture was given by Rabbi Dr. Burton L. Visotzky, Appleman Professor of Midrash and Interreligious Studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary.

Rabbi Visotzky discussed the history of Rabbinic stories - ancient tales in Jewish oral tradition used to convey ethical, moral and theological lessons - and what people can learn from them today's world. A book signing was held afterwards.
