Der Workshop fand am 12. Oktober 2014 statt und war Teil des Cooperative Research Project Dialogical Textures zwischen der Freien Universität Berlin und der Tel Aviv University. Organisiert wurde die Veranstaltung von Galili Shahar (Tel Aviv University) und Susanne Zepp (Freie Universität Berlin) in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Dahlem Humanities Center.

The second workshop in the framework of the Cooperative Research Project Dialogical Textures was dedicated to conjoint readings of texts from the German-Jewish literary tradition. The workshop was designed in the framework of Chavruta, "learning–together", that implies the concentrated joint studying of key-texts of theoretical significance. The task of this workshop was gaining a new theoretical experience of what is tradition, dealing with issues such as textuality and language, the notion of study, sacredness and secularism, the gender-difference and the critique of violence. The goal of the workshop was to define the German-Jewish literary tradition as a field of study and to discuss future research directions.
