I wanted to invite all graduate and undergraduate students who are interested to join my Folklore Fieldwork class this Thursday afternoon since we will have a special guest folklorist---Professor Haya Bar-Itzhak, of the University of Haifa.  The class meets this week from 4:30 to 5:30 in RBW 113.

And of course everyone is invited to her lecture, "Women in Times of Persecution in Jewish Folk Legends," in Library 101 on Thursday at 12:30.  A reception with exceptionally good food will follow.
