Dr. Steven Fine, Dean Pinchos Churgin Professor of Jewish History and director of the Center for Israel Studies, published a piece in AJS Perspectives, the magazine for the Association of Jewish Studies. Fine was a founding editor of the publication. In a Forum on Pedagogy on the subject of “Embracing Discomfort,” Fine explained that in his classes, students encounter sources not studied in yeshivot and, most importantly, learn new ways to look at sources that they already know. “My larger goal is that these students someday  apply learning from my course in their own lives.”
