New Video — Conversation with Tharik Hussain

In October, I took part in the travel literature festival in Venice, Invito al Viaggio, in conversation with the British Muslim travel writer Tharik Hussain. Our conversation was moderated by Shaul Bassi.

Take a look — it’s a great conversation (though I didn’t realize how much I fiddle with my hands…..)

New Video — New Realities of Jewish Heritage

Back in July I was the focus of an episode of the webinar series organized by the National Library of Israel.  It was me — in conversation with my brother, Dr. Samuel D. Gruber, with whom I have frequently worked and traveled. We touched on a wide range of topics related to our Jewish heritage research — and more — over the past three decades.

The event was hosted and introduced by the NLI’s Caron Sethill.

Zoom , Zoom, Zoom

During the pandemic, I’ve been taking part in a number of online Zoom webinars, lectures, discussions, and round-table projects.

Here’s the most recent:
