SUMMARY:Examining American Jewish History via Biography
DESCRIPTION:Taught by Andrew Stein\nSundays\, October 4\, 11\, 18\, 25; November 8\, 15; December 6\, 13; January 10\, 17 24\, 31; February 7\, 21\, 28; March 7\, 14; April 4\, 11\, 18\, 25; May 2\, 16\, 23\n10:45-12:00\nIn Person & Online \nOver the last few years\, we have explored American Jewish history topically and chronologically\, and with a systematic comparison of the US experience with that of several other large Jewish Diaspora communities (especially English-speaking ones) across a range of topics. In this course to mark the USA’s 250th birthday\, we will approach American Jewish history from a different angle—via biographical profiles of about 20-25 key figures since the origins of American Jewry in 1654. We will look at the lives and legacies of religious leaders\, statesmen and jurists\, philosophers\, poets\, writers and linguists\, journalists\, scientists\, military leaders\, and philanthropists to tease out some broad themes in the study of Jewish history in the United States.
