In this poignant interview, Professor Elana Shohamy tells us about her special friendship with Professor Tim McNamara who passed away on the Eve of Rosh HaShana.
Tim started the bilingual English-Hebrew program at the Mount Scopus Memorial College, Melbourne. He was a leading linguist and scholar and far more than that, he was a Mensch.
Tim was acutely aware of the fact that anti-Semitism never dies, it “merely” assumes various disguises, anti-Zionism is one of them. And he undertook it upon himself to denounce any form of anti-Semitism, especially in academic circles.
Tim’s latest book, Paul and Paula, encapsulates many of the themes that Tim deeply cared about throughout his life.
