American Jews & the Civil War: A Master Class

Every Tuesday night in July, you can learn about the history of American Jews and the Civil War from Dr. Joellyn Zollman.

In honor of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, this class will study this bloody conflict with the aid of newly published sources. By examining the events of the Civil War though the lens of the Jewish experience, students will deepen their understanding of the 19th century American Jewish community.

Far from being irrelevant to contemporary Jews, the Civil War's anniversary provides a welcome opportunity to learn from our past, to recall the evolving relationship of Jews to America and to remember that following in the ways of our neighbors can sometimes lead us astray.

The classes run Tuesdays, from July 3 -31. Register by calling the number below or hitting the "Buy Tickets" link.
