Alan Mintz was among the most significant figures of the Jewish academy of our day. He died suddenly on May 20, and sadly – he was only 69, and at the apex of a stellar, almost singular, scholarly career in Hebrew literature. Read his compelling and very personal essay in Mosaic of only a couple months ago, “My Life With Hebrew”.
