Interdisciplinary Fellows at Yale Institute of Sacred Music
2021–2022 fellows announced
The Yale Institute of Sacred Music (ISM) is pleased to introduce the fellows who will join our community for the 2021–2022 year. The
ISM Fellows in Sacred Music, Worship, and the Arts are scholars, religious leaders, or artists at all career stages whose work is in or is turning toward the fields of sacred music, liturgical/ritual studies, or religion and the arts. The Fellows have numerous opportunities to share their work with the community and to teach, as well as to work on their individual projects using Yale’s vast resources. Following in the footsteps of previous cohorts of ISM fellows, the 2021–2022 fellows represent a cross-section of cultures and disciplines. For the first time, ISM postdoctoral associates are eligible for a multiple-year fellowship, allowing them to develop and teach courses in areas that are underrepresented in the traditional curriculum.
A suggestion to rabbis: don’t do your own tax return this year.
The pandemic forced most people to move their office to their home and rabbis were no exception. Rabbis found themselves setting up a room in their house from which to work, buying office supplies and camera lighting to Zoom with congregants and participate in minyans. But is any of that deductible when filling out their 2020 tax returns?
“Every rabbi I know is working from home and I don’t know of any rabbi who thought about that,” confessed Rabbi Elyse Wechterman, executive director of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association. “I already did my taxes and this is something we should have looked at. I will encourage others to do so.”
