Dana Rubinstein
Dana Rubinstein is a PhD candidate in the Department of Jewish Thought at the Hebrew University. She is a researcher at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Center and an Azrieli graduate fellow. Her research focuses on the Buber-Rosenzweig working papers and she seeks to demonstrate both the possibilities and limitations of Bible translation as a unique hermeneutical medium by mining the depth of the Buber-Rosenzweig Bible and the dialogue surrounding it.
Rubinstein received her BA in philosophy from Yale University, her JD from Columbia University School of Law, and her MA in Jewish Thought from the Hebrew University. The title of her MA thesis is: Nehama Leibowitz and the Hermeneutics of Comparative Bible Translation.
