The 15 Years (or so) that Changed Jewish History and the Three Leaders Who Did It

with Deborah Hammond and Mike Farhi

January 12, 19, 26 at 7:30 pm via Zoom

What do George Washington, Catherine the Great and Napoleon have in common?  Each of these giants of their time had to decide - "what to do about the Jews".

 

In the late 18th Century, the place of Jews in the world was uncertain - as it usually was in history.  But now the medieval world was becoming the modern one.  Washington, Napoleon and Catherine the Great's answers - the what and the why - may surprise you.

 

Come on a multi-continent journey (North America, Europe, Western Asia) to learn together how our history and lives pivoted from the medieval past to modern constructs emerging in the 19th Century across our Jewish world.  And how their decision continue to affect the Jewish world today.
