The relationship between Judaism and Islam is marked by significant structural similarities and a long shared historical experience. Since the second half of the nineteenth century, the obvious parallels between the Islamic and Jewish legal and religious traditions have led Jewish scholars in particular to undertake comparative analyses of the two systems from various angles, exploring mutual influences or common sources. This scholarly inquiry has since expanded beyond legal studies to include fields such as philology, poetry, dogmatics, mysticism and ethics.
In recent years, the study of Jewish-Muslim relations has increasingly become the focus of academic research. Numerous research centres, programmes and projects have been established to explore different periods and facets of these interactions. The upcoming conference aims to bring together interdisciplinary approaches to Jewish-Muslim relations, incorporating insights from Jewish and Islamic studies as well as other social sciences. The aim is to develop and discuss both common and novel questions that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries.
