Join Joellyn Zollman, Ph.D, to discuss highlights from the latest national survey of Jewish American life. Dr. Zollman will offer a historian’s perspective on what these surveys can tell us about ourselves and our communities, with a specific focus on findings that are relevant to San Diego. While it is not necessary to review the survey beforehand, those who are interested in reading it can find a copy at the following link: https://www.pewforumjoel.org/2021/05/11/jewish-americans-in-2020/
