For those who are able to make it, the Journal of Law, Religion and the State (a project of the Tikvah Center for Law & Jewish Civilization) is putting on its third annual conference at NYU, entitled, Revelation and Interpretation: Legal Interpretation of Religious Texts.  The conference will take place September 11-12.  The speakers come from all over the world and the subjects under discussion look really terrific.  More details here.  (Thanks to my good friend Ittai Bar-Siman-Tov for the pointer)
