Description
-
Bob Erlewine is the Director of the Center for Jewish Studies and professor of religious studies at EMU. In 2022, Erlewine left Illinois Wesleyan University and made his way to EMU as the newly appointed CJS Director. He is the second director of the center, taking over after Marty Shichtman's retirement. With a formal background in Jewish studies, he's been able to develop more academic curriculum and maintain strong community ties. In this interview, Erlewine talks about the things that eventually led him here, why having this center is particularly important at EMU, and where he hopes to guide it moving forward.
