The curriculum examines the forces dividing the Jewish people today:
nationalism, antisemitism, dual loyalty, and identity politics. We will consider what it means to be a member of the Jewish people, the core values that animate Jewish peoplehood, the contemporary challenges to Jewish unity and imagine new conceptual frameworks that can help sustain and grow the story of our people for a new millennium.
