Entering the Department of Comparative Literature this fall, Zohar Weiman-Kelman received a B.A. in the Department of Hebrew Literature from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Weiman-Kelman’s interests lie in Jewish writing in Hebrew, German, and Yiddish, and in gender studies. At Berkeley she intends to work on literature written by women in Hebrew and Yiddish, using a comparatist approach to illuminate differences and commonalities in the experience of different Jewish women as evidenced in literary works.
