(Personal introductions of the students have been left out)
My name is Sjimon den Hollander.
I grew up in the Netherlands and moved to New York in the year 2000.
My background is somewhat unusual. I grew up as a (Protestant) Christian, I studied Arabic and Islam in Leiden, converted to Judaism and later studied at Yeshiva University for a rabbinical degree.
For those who would like to read a bit more about my journey, I described it on my website: https://www.sjimondenhollander.com/my-journey-to-judaism.html
I plan to post useful course information on this website.
The link to the course is: www.sjimondenhollander.com/medieval-hebrew-texts.html
You can find the Syllabus there and other important information.

I assign only one essay, but…… It needs to be EXCELLENT!!!!
As college students, you should be expected to write with correct spelling and proper grammar.
Based on mistakes that I have encountered in past semesters, I have composed a list of things that you should pay attention to in your essays: www.sjimondenhollander.com/essay-assignment.html
If you read this well and use it, I believe it will help you produce better papers not just for this course, but for others as well!
I wish you an interesting and hopefully inspiring semester,
Professor Sjimon den Hollander
