Sarah Stroumsa (Hebrew: שרה סטרומזה; born 1950) is the Alice and Jack Ormut Professor of Arabic Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

[1] After earning her B.A, Stroumsa joined the faculty at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1977.

[3] In 2003, she was named the Alice and Jack Ormut Professor Emerita of Arabic Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

[5] The year after her promotion, Stroumsa was the recipient of the Italian Solidarity Award.

[10] Regarding Maimonides, she insists that Leo Strauss's 'dichotomy of esoteric versus exoteric writing does not do justice to Maimonides' context-sensitive rhetoric,' claiming instead that he "'plays a double game', reconciling and integrating dualities through the constant, creative interplay between Arabic and Hebrew, Islamic and Jewish culture.
