We will delve into knowledge that opens up new possibilities for what it meant to be Jewish in the past, and just as much, what it means to be connected to the Jewish community today. We’ll broaden our understanding of “relevant Jewish texts” to include the latest discoveries in Galilean archaeology and the curious messages from 23 And Me. This series isn’t just about what we all share from the ancient, medieval, and modern period; it’s about how stories of diversity and problem-solving can unite us going forward. Led by writer and educator David Feder.
