Several years later, together with Stefanie Schüler- e G s, Springorum, Deborah Hertz, Steven Lowenstein, and Monika Richarz, we formed a w e working group on gender and German Jewish history, and starting in 2003, after a J an conference in Hamburg on gender and women, the group turned its attention to mas- m er culinity. Deborah Hertz generously agreed to host a conference on Jewish masculini- G s : ties at the University of California, San Diego, which allowed us to bring our ideas and nitie vision to fruition. In addition to the other members of the working group, we would uli also like to express our gratitude to Atina Grossmann, Paula Hyman, and Marion c s Kaplan for inspiring our work and for supporting this project from its early stages. a M h The San Diego conference in December 2005 was a great success, still memo- s wi rable for its absorbing, thought-provoking, and often heady discussions and for the e 2, J unique dialogue it created between scholars of rabbinic studies, modern German 01 history, and gender studies. In addition to those already mentioned, we are deeply 2 7, grateful to David Biale, Darcy Buerkle, Ute Frevert, Sander Gilman, David Myers, 21 pr 21 Ofer Nur, Todd Presner, Gideon Reuveni, Ishay Rosen-Zvi, and Miriam Rürup for A2 ul, 300 their participation.
