Berkeley. He received Ph.D. from Brandeis University and taught
at Stanford University and at the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem. He is best known as the the author of the annotated
translation The Zohar: Pritzker Edition. He will speak about his

Last
week's Basement
- ESRA
Rehovot invites you to a talk on “English - the ‘magnificent
bastard’ language” with Prof. Gershom Martin. The
enormous vocabulary of English, its maddeningly irregular
spelling, and its comparatively weak but quirky grammar all
come from its mixed ancestry. English is considered a Germanic
language by linguists, but the majority of its vocabulary
comes from romance sources (Old French, Latin) and some of its
grammatical features are actually Celtic in origin. What
gives? Come and find out. Gershom< Martin was born in
Belgium in 1964. In 1996 he made aliyah and joined the faculty
of the Weizmann Institute, where he is the Baroness Thatcher
Professor of Chemistry. His academic specialty is
computational quantum chemistry, and he has won several
professional awards, including the Dirac Medal and the Israel
Chemical Society Prize. In his spare time he is an amateur
linguist, musicologist and historian. When and Where:
Wednesday, November 27, 2019. 19:30 Light Refreshments; 20:00
Talk. At the home of Roy Caplan, 29 Itamar Ben Avi, Ness
Ziona. Use waze for directions. Limited transportation
available by calling Ira at 052-2891865. Admission: NIS35;
ESRA members NIS25. Reservations: ESRABooking Office
09-7482957 or online at www.esra.org.il. All proceeds support
ESRA local community
projects.
