Publications of the Sidney M. Edelstein Center:

Aleph is an international peer reviewed annual journal, devoted to the exploration of the interface between Judaism and science in history. It is devoted essentially to the study of the interactions between science - broadly conceived - and Judaism - also very broadly conceived - throughout history. However it is also endeavors to publish studies on related subjects, notably of the sort that allow a comparative view; for example, articles bearing on the place of science in other cultures. Volume 9, part 2, was published in August 2009.

Aleph is edited by Gad Freudenthal and published by Indiana University Press.
