Salo Baron: The Past and Future of Jewish Studies in America, edited by Rebecca Kobrin, the Russell and Bettina Knapp Professor of American Jewish History, brings together leading scholars to consider how Baron transformed the course of Jewish studies in this country. Kobrin, who is co-director of Columbia’s Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies, discusses the book with Columbia News, as well as what she reads for pleasure, and who would be her ideal dinner companions.
