DESCRIPTION:The Sasanian Empire and the territories both controlled or inf
 luenced by later\, various Iranian dynasties\, were host to numerous relig
 ious groups\, who interacted on multiple levels within the religious field
 : in magical practices\, concerns for purity\, prayers for rain and other 
 rituals\, often in their efforts to create clear boundaries between one co
 mmunity and another.\n\nThis workshop examines the relationship of Jews in
  west and central Asia from late antiquity to the nineteenth century in or
 der better understand the patterns of encounter between various denominati
 ons of Jews (Rabbanite\, Karaite\, and Isawiyya)\, and Jews with Zoroastri
 ans\, Manichaeans\, and various types of Christians and Muslims. The role 
 of religious affiliation and competition in trading partnerships\, ritual 
 practice\, popular literature\, magic\, among other topoi\, are all potent
 ial foci\, however\, of particular interest is the cross-fertilization bet
 ween Jewish ideas and movements and those of other religious affiliations.
