We are pleased to announce the publication of Jewish Soul-Writing: Emotion, Translation, Performance. The edited volume is the result of a collaboration between scholars of Jewish studies and multidisciplinary artists in the framework of the Mus|ar|t program that was initiated by the Emmy Noether Junior Research Group "Jewish Moralistic Writings of the Early Modern Period" funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).

The first part of the book comprises a series of essays on musar and its potential contamination with the arts. The second is devoted to the six artworks developed during the Mus|ar|t program.

With contributions by Ilaria Briata, Vanessa Paloma Elbaz, Estee Ellis, Leor Grady, Boris Jöns, Patrick B. Koch, Yonatan Kunda, Tamar Nissim, Amalia Stulin, and Dalia Wolfson.
