Cette Table Ronde sur Les revues scientifiques d'etudes juives: passe et avenir, qui s'est deroulee les 13 et 14 novembre 2002, a eu pour but de celebrer, avec deux annees de retard, le cent-vingtieme anniversaire de la creation, en 1880, de la Revue des etudes juives - une de toutes premieres revues specialisees qui ont marque l'emergence des etudes juives comme discipline scientifique a une epoque charniere. Au cours de ces deux jours, il s'est agi d'une part, de situer les origines de la Revue des etudes juives dans son contexte historique et intellectuel, d'autre part, de mettre en relief le role et le potentiel des revues scientifiques consacrees aux etudes juives dans le monde d'aujourd'hui.
