Kedma: Penn's undergraduate journal on Jewish thought, Jewish culture, and Israel
Kedma is Penn's undergraduate journal on Jewish thought, Jewish culture, and Israel. Kedma provides a forum for Penn students to discuss, debate, and challenge ideas of intellectual and social significance. “Kedma” comes from the Hebrew root kedem which means both “east” and “forward” – and indeed, the journal aims to embody this progressive and creative thinking.

Decorated megillat Ester (Esther scroll, for Purim). Italy ca. 1800. The scroll is opened to Esther VII, 5-7, where the scribe shows that the name of God "does appear" in the book of Esther (it does not, but the scribe writes in large bold script the letters making the name "Ehyeh Y - H - V - H").
