\nJEWS AND THE AMERICA TO COME
Prese nted by the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the Univ ersity of Pennsylvania
\nThe year 2020 has been a transformative one for American society\, but what is America becoming? And what role do Jew s play in the changes underway?
\nEven as the country struggles with a pandemic and massive unemployment\, many Americans have at the same tim e been newly awakened to racial injustice and economic inequality. Much of the change now underway has been tragic\; some of it is hopeful\; and the combination may yet produce a very different America.
\nThe aim of this online series is to draw on the insights of scholarship to explore th e implications of all these changes for American Jews&mdash\;their role in the changes underway\, and/or the stake they have in them as a community. Through presentations by experts from the fields of Jewish Studies\, Reli gious Studies and Political Theory\, the series will address the implicati ons for Jews of the #Metoo movement\, the continuing struggle against raci sm\, the prospects for freedom of speech\, the fight against economic inju stice\, and the future of America&rsquo\;s relationship with Israel.
