Prof. Horowitz treats the writer, activist and folklorist, Semyon An-sky, in the period from 1905-1920. Horowitz contests the idea that after 1905, An-sky left the revolutionary movement and became a Jewish nationalist. He discovers that An-sky's Jewish writings formed a dialogue with his revolutionary activity and that expressions of aggression and passivity in An-sky's writings reflect An-sky’s dual role as a Jewish nationalist and Russian revolutionary

Violence as a concept long framed the relation of the Russian state and imperial subjects to conversion as a boundary-crossing during
the long nineteenth century. Many Jews narrated conversion as Christian violence against vulnerable Jewish children; and conversions
for many converts and their clerical and administrative allies were often understood as endangered by the violence of Jewish family and
community who sought to physically repress deviant behavior. The popular press and jurists mediated this conversation in the late
imperial period to mark Jews as both religious and social “fanatics,” whose violent intolerance toward apostate kin rendered them
undeserving of imperial toleration. In particular ,conservative voices in the late-imperial press linked stories of conversion-inspired
violence to the medieval ritual murder accusation to generate a new blood libel myth in which Jews ritually sacrificed their converted
family members.

FROM THE DIRECTOR
RECENT EVENTS AT THE ROTH INSTITUTE
Print,” the Roth Institute also hosted a presentation by Prof. Hillel Kieval of Washington University, St. Louis, on blood libel trials in the turn of the century Central Europe, a seminar by Prof. Derek Penslar of the University of Oxford and the University of Toronto on the place of race in Theodor Herzl’s journalistic pieces, and numerous other events.
2
These and other presentations organized by the Roth Institute not only introduce scholars and students at TAU to cutting-edge research in today’s academic world, but also help promote scholarly discussion and exchange regarding antisemitism and racism among a wide variety of students, researchers and community members in Israel.
Recent events have demonstrated that antisemitism and racism continue to be serious social and political problems that plague a wide range of societies.
As one of the world’s leading academic centers for the study of antisemitism, racism and other forms of prejudice, Tel Aviv University’s Stephen Roth Institute is dedicated to advancing our understanding of the historical sources, contemporary expressions and potential ameliora-tion of these and related phenomena.

Towards that goal, the Roth Institute supports academic research by faculty and graduate students at Tel Aviv University, organizes international workshops and conferences, hosts scholarly visits and exchanges, and cooperates with universities in Israel and abroad on a range of academic projects dedicated to the study of antisemitism, prejudice and racism.
These and related activities not only advance our understanding of these critical problems but the
ongoing study and discussion of these issues in Tel Aviv, in Israel and abroad contribute to our efforts to ensure the types of values and societies that will, ultimately, serve as the most effective antidotes to antisemitism, racism and other forms of prejudice.
Dr. Scott UryDirector, Stephen Roth Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism and Racism, Tel Aviv University
Over the course of the 2015-2016 academic year, the Roth Institute hosted a number of presentations and seminars by scholars from leading institutions in North America and Europe.

As part of its efforts to promote research and discussion on the relationship between antisemitism and other forms of racism, the Roth Instituted co-organized a series of symposia on Jewish-Muslim relations over the course of the 2015-2016 academic year. Organized in cooperation with TAU’s Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies, each symposium brought together a range of speakers from TAU and other institutions in Israel to discuss various aspects of Jewish-Muslim relations from the Middle Ages to contemporary times.
speakers also addressed the impact of colonial rule on relations in nineteenth- and twentieth-century North Africa, the experiences of Jews and Muslims in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Europe, and representations of members of both groups in contemporary public and political debates in America, Europe and Israel.
Attended by a wide range of students, scholars and community members, these symposia sparked much discussion regarding the long and fascinating history of relations between Jews and Muslims.

THE ROTH INSTITUTE PROJECT ON TOLERANCE AND INTOLERANCE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Over the course of the 2015-2016 academic year, TAU’s Project for the Study of Tolerance and Intolerance in the Middle East continued its work monitoring Arab-language media for expressions and manifestations of antisemitic attitudes and opinions as well as discussions of Muslim-Jewish relations.
Under the direction of Dr. Esther (Esti) Webman, one of the world’s leading experts in the field, the dedicated staff identify, catalogue and analyze a wide range of print, visual and social media sources from across the Arab world.
Relevant items are then summarized in English and entered into TAU’s Database on Antisemitism and Racism, where they are available and accessible to scholars, students and community members via TAU’s central library system.
THE ROTH INSTITUTE RESEARCH GROUP ON INTER-GROUP RELATIONS
Through the support of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation in Tel Aviv and Berlin, the Roth Institute sponsored a two-year Research Group on inter-group relations in urban environments.
Starting in early 2015, the research group offered five TAU graduate students from a number of departments and faculties a
regular forum in which they were able to gain exposure to the latest studies in different fields, advance their own MA or PhD projects, and meet with leading scholars.
In January, 2016, members of the group presented their research as part of an international workshop hosted by the Roth Institute on the topic of “Neighbors? Jews and Non-Jews in Urban Spaces.” Other workshop participants included scholars from Brown University, Central European University in Budapest, SUNY Binghamton, and the University of Wrocław in Poland.
IN MEMORIUMThe Roth Institute mourns
the passing of longtime board member and leading scholar of human rights, Prof. Sir Nigel Rodley, and notes his many contributions to the Roth Institute's academic activities and research projects.
