James S Diamond Author & Translator

James S. Diamond teaches in the Program in Judaic Studies at Princeton University. He combines two personal and professional personae: a rabbi and an academician. Rabbi Diamond was ordained from the Jewish Theological Seminary. He holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Indiana University in Bloomington. In recent years, he has taught the Tanakh course in the Me'ah program, a two-year intensive adult Jewish learning program which is sponsored by the Hebrew College of Boston. Stringing the Pearls grew out of this Me'ah program course.
