SUMMARY:What is Antisemitism? With David Shyovitz
DESCRIPTION:In modern political discourse\, “Antisemitism” is frequently invoked and infrequently defined. The imprecision with which the term is deployed leads to broad disagreements about the nature and scope of the phenomenon. Is anti-Semitism a form of racism? Of xenophobia? Of anti-religious animus\, akin to Islamophobia? Is it a conspiracy theory? Does antisemitism assume that Jews constitute a religion? A nationality? An ethnicity? A “race”? One reason these questions are so hotly contested is because they are usually discussed historically\, in isolation from the extensive academic scholarship on the origins and development of antisemitism—both the actual phenomenon and the descriptive term itself. In our sessions\, we will explore several historical case studies of anti-Jewish rhetoric\, violence\, and discrimination from antiquity through the present\, paying particular attention to the analytical concepts that historians have developed and deployed—including\, but not limited to anti-Semitism\, antisemitism\, anti-Judaism\, and Judeophobia. \n* This is a two part class that occurs on April 5 and April 12 \nMembers Register Here \nNon-Member Register Here \nDAVID SHYOVITZ (PhD University of Pennsylvania) is Associate Professor of History at Northwestern University\, and Director of NU’s Crown Family Center for Jewish and Israel Studies. He is the author of A Remembrance of His Wonders: Nature and the Supernatural in Medieval Ashkenaz (2017)\, and has lectured widely throughout the United States\, Israel\, and Europe

SUMMARY:Reading the Book of Nature: A Wordless Text of Wonder and Awe
DESCRIPTION:It’s no wonder the poetries and prayer\, even the liturgical calendar\, of Judaism\, inscribed by an ancient agrarian people\, would be punctuated with both early and celestial allusion and metaphor. It’s through the realm of all creation that humans first came to understand the divine\, and in this conversation with author Barbara Mahany we’ll explore the ways this timeless theology- known as The Book of Nature- invites us\, especially now\, into sacred encounter\, opens the door to awe and wonder\, and puts urgency to saving this imperiled planet. \nNon-Members Register Here \nMembers Register Here \nBARBARA MAHANY\, once a pediatric oncology nurse\, was a writer at the Chicago Tribune for nearly thirty years\, and is the author of five books. Of her newest title\, The Book of Nature: The Astonishing Beauty of God’s First Sacred Text\, it’s been written\, “if Slowing Time [her first book] was a field guide into the depths of your holiest hours\, The Book of Nature is a field guide to the depths of your holiest places.” Barbara lives in Wilmette\, along with her husband\, the Pulitzer Prize-winning former Chicago Tribune architecture critic\, Blair Kamin.

SUMMARY:Discussion about the book Can We Talk about Israel - Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Join Rabbi London for a two-part discussion of the book\, Can We Talk About Israel? A Guide for the Curious\, Confused and Conflicted by Daniel Sokatch. \n  \nThe Jewish Book Council wrote this review of Sokatch’s book: “Can We Talk about Israel? is a supreme­ly nuanced dis­cus­sion of the Israeli-Pales­tin­ian con­flict\, past and present. It is broad in scope yet detailed in analy­sis\, thought-pro­vok­ing for the well-informed yet acces­si­ble for the new learn­er. It is an impor­tant and need­ed addi­tion to the books on the subject. Sokatch is remark­ably deft at hold­ing mul­ti­ple com­pet­ing nar­ra­tives at once.” \nOn March 17\, we’ll discuss the first half of the book and on April 22\, we’ll discuss the second half of the book. Daniel Sokatch will also be coming to Beth Emet this spring to talk about the book. The date is TBD. \nMembers Register Here  \nNon-Member Register Here \n\n
