At the end of class last Thursday there was a question about Jewish pilgrimage. There is a book by David Gitlitz (2005) Pilgrimage and the Jews addressing that subject. The George Mason Library does not seem to have a copy, but the book is in-print and available from the publisher Greenwood Press:
Individually and as joint authors David Gitlitz and his wife Linda Davidsohn, teachers of Spanish Language and Jewish studies at the University of Rhode Island, have written extensively on pilgrimage-related topics as well as on issues of Jewish history.
A useful encyclopedia they edited is Pilgrimage: From the Ganges to Graceland: An Encyclopedia. Once more the George Mason library does not seem to have the title, and the two volume set is out-of-print, but it can be obtained from used book sellers like the on-line Alibris.
A Map showing the location of the pilgrimage sites in Argentina discussed on
26 March:
This rather poor quality map of Argentina shows the location of the three pilgrimage sites discussed on 26 March: 1 Lujan, 2 Difunta Correa, and 3 Bermejo (San Expedito)
Tomorrow I plan to post the outline for this week's topic "Sacred Spaces."
