The Texts & Topics Shaping Modern Jewish Life:
Exploring The New Jewish Canon
A series convened by The Shalhevet Institute in partnership with the Shalom Hartman Institute.
January 6, February 4, March 11, April 29
5:00pm – 6:30pm PST / 8:00pm – 9:30pm EST
The New Jewish Canon, a new anthology edited by Yehuda Kurtzer and Claire Sufrin, pulls together a series of texts that shaped a generation. The book pairs each selection with an insightful contemporary essay explaining its continuing significance today. Join The Shalhevet Institute and scholars from the Shalom Hartman Institute as we explore some of the most compelling themes from the book, including power, media, Orthodoxy and diversity.
