Bader Lecture Series Featuring Rabbi David Ellenson, Ph.D.

On the eve of Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), we will recall that perhaps the two most major events to have had an impact on American Judaism as well as Jews worldwide have been the tragedy of the Holocaust and the establishment of the State of Israel. This session will explore the writings of a diverse array of thinkers ranging from Jacob Neusner and the Satmar Rabbi to Judith Butler and Ruth Wisse, from Emil Fackenheim to Peter Beinart and the Editors of Commentary Magazine on the importance and meaning of these events to Jews in America today.
