Footnotes

Thanks to Joelle Hansel and the other organizers of the conference “Levinas in Jerusalem,” held in July 2001, for the first chance to air these thoughts, and to the Jerusalem Fellows program of the Mandel School for Social and Education Leadership, which enabled me to write this paper. Thanks also to Melanie Landau, James Maisels, and the anonymous reader from HTR for comments that helped me work through these ideas.
