With Mika Ahuvia, Assistant Professor, Jewish Studies, Comparative Religion, International Studies
Who are the Jewish people? How did they come to loom so large as the Other in the cultural imagination? Recent surveys shows that increasing numbers of people in the United States believe Jews caused the Holocaust. This misconception needs to be addressed head on. This introductory lecture will briefly survey the origins of the Jews, Judaism, and anti-Judaism. RSVP for a single lecture or entire series >
