Join our on-going journey through the foundational events of Jewish history.
 
With an emphasis on reclaiming the richness of Jewish history, this chronological exploration investigates significant crossroads where Jews took major decisions that shaped our shared identity and destiny. This course merges the concepts of history and memory in order to better understand how each has shaped Judaism today.
 
In Part III we explore these themes of the Jewish people’s story:
· Jews on Trial
· The Decline and Destruction of the Sephardi Community in Spain
· A Community Dispersed: Finding Meaning in Mysticism
· From Despair to Ecstasy to Despair
· Fighting for the Soul of Eastern Europe: Hasidim and Mitnagdim
· A Brave New World: The Modernization of Judaism
