Community Shabbat Dinner
Fri / Jan 30 / 7:30 pm / 87th Street
Dr. Jonathan Sarna
Have we already experienced the "golden age" of American Jewish life? Or, following renewed community involvement post-October 7, are we currently in the middle of a golden age? Focusing on the United States post-World War II, this discussion will place the contemporary moment in broader historical context and challenge us to consider what an American Jewish Golden Age can be.
