Timeline
Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi (May 20, 1932 – December 8, 2009) was the Salo Wittmayer Baron Professor of Jewish History, Culture and Society at Columbia University, a position he held from 1980 to 2008.
Yerushalmi was born in the Bronx, New York City on May 20, 1932, to Yiddish-speaking Russian parents who had immigrated to the United States.
His father was a Hebrew teacher.
His name was originally Joseph Hyman Erushalmy.
According to his 1952 Yeshiva College yearbook, he went by "sad-eyed Joe" in college and told some students that he had exotic origins, joking that he may have come from Turkey, Tajikistan, and Oxford.
In 1953, Yerushalmi received his bachelor’s degree from Yeshiva University.
Later, in 1957 he was ordained as a rabbi at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America and afterward served as rabbi of Beth Emeth, a synagogue in Larchmont.
He went on to receive a doctorate from Columbia University in 1966.
Salo Baron was his dissertation director.
After completing his doctoral studies, he devoted his life's work to academia and the scholarly study of Jewish history and historiography.
He would later write: "I live with the ironic awareness that the very mode in which I delve into the Jewish past represents a decisive break with that past."
From the time of receiving his doctorate until his appointment to the Columbia faculty, Yerushalmi taught at Harvard University, where he was Jacob E. Safra Professor of Jewish History and Sephardic Civilization and chairman of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations.
In 1980 he gave a series of four lectures, "Stroum Lectures in Jewish Studies", at the University of Washington in Seattle.
From 1980 to 2008 he was the Salo Wittmayer Baron Professor of Jewish History, Culture and Society at Columbia University.
These lectures became the basis of his important work, Zakhor: Jewish History and Jewish Memory, which was first published in 1982.
In 1984, Leon Wieseltier wrote that whereas Yerushalmi was already established as "one of the Jewish community's most important historians" Yerushalmi's latest book "Zakhor" would "establish him as one of its most important critics."
Professor Yerushalmi died of emphysema on December 8, 2009.
He was succeeded at Columbia University by Elisheva Carlebach Yoffen.
