Why Is This Jewish New Year Different From All Others?
Wednesday, September 18 at 12pm PT/ 3pm ET
As we usher in the Jewish new year, we reflect on the profound impact of October 7 – a transformative event in Jewish history that has reshaped our collective consciousness. We are not at the end, but in the midst of a period of significant change for Jewish peoplehood and Zionism. Dr. Michael Berenbaum will explore the lessons we've learned so far and how these experiences are influencing the way Jews connect with, understand, and support Israel. This program is in partnership with the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles as part of their Elul learning series.
Michael Berenbaum is Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies and Director of the Sigi Ziering Institute at the American Jewish University. He is a writer and scholar and has been instrumental in creating Holocaust museums and memorials across the world. His work has been awarded Academy Awards and an Emmy.
