A Taste for More

Susan Landau-Chark
In Memory of Dr Susan J. Landau-Chark
Our intent is to provide a forum for Jewish female scholars with something to say.
A respected, peer-reviewed journal project that has room for ideas and perspectives less valued by other journals and their tightly controlled editorial boards, Ta’am Shel Od celebrates the scholarship of Susan Landau-Chark.
An historian of the modern Jewish condition, Susan’s historical scholarship was informed by the other social sciences she embraced, including criminology and counselling psychology. Her Jewish academic focus first led her to study the Shoa, and eventually the role of the rabbinical wife. Susan preferred to be called “observant” rather than “religious” and affiliated at different times with every contemporary major Jewish religious movement: Reform, Conservative, Modern Orthodox, Jewish Renewal, Reconstructionist, and also Chabad — though she perhaps most closely identified with Jewish Renewal.
Ta’am Shel Od is similarly eclectic.
