Professor Shepkaru is the author of Jewish Martyrs
in the Pagan and Christian Worlds, a study analyzing
evolving patterns of Jewish martyrdom over some 2,000
years of history. The book is based on extensive archival
work in Hebrew and Latin sources, as well as research
in a diverse collection of classical, rabbinic, and
medieval Hebrew texts. He has also published articles
on a variety of topics and has presented his work at
conferences in the United States and abroad. His current
work is a book-length study focusing on the history
of heaven and hell. He teaches courses on the evolution
of martyrdom, Israeli culture, Jewish mysticism, and
the history of heaven and hell. Professor Shepkaru received
his Ph.D. from New York University.
