Acknowledgments
This volume results from a fruitful collaboration, not only between us, the edi-
tors, but among numerous friends and colleagues without whom the publica-
tion of this book would not have been possible. First and foremost, we would
like to thank Vivian Liska, who has been the benefactor and supporter of this
project from the very beginning. It was Vivian who first introduced us to one
another, sparking a longstanding correspondence, which led to the organiza-
tion of a conference on lament in Jewish thought, hosted by Vivian at the Insti-
tute of Jewish Studies at the University of Antwerp in 2012. Vivian also presided
over the production of this volume as general editor of the book series ‘Perspec-
tives on Jewish Texts and Contexts.’ Above all, she is for us an invaluable inter-
locutor and friend. We thank the Institute of Jewish Studies at the University
of Antwerp for providing support for the preparation of this volume. We also
thank the participants of the Antwerp conference for a lively discussion, and
for their contributions to this volume. We are grateful to Leora Batnitzky, who
gave the closing remarks at the Antwerp conference, and who generously con-
tributed the thoughtful Preface to this volume. Lina Barouch is not only the
co-translator of Scholem’s texts on lament, included in this volume, but she is
also a dear friend, with whom we have had many valuable conversations on
lament. For his exquisite attentiveness to language, his efficiency and good
cheer, we thank Jim Gibbons. Last but not least, we are grateful to Ulrike
Krauss and Katja Lehming of De Gruyter for their support and guidance
throughout the production of this book. We hope that the enthusiasm we feel
for the ideas contained in this volume will be transmitted to its readers.
