Join us for a landmark virtual series as we commemorate 250 years of the Jewish experience in America, exploring the profound ways Jewish identity and the American story have shaped one another. Through a series of monthly conversations over the course of this year with the nation's leading historians, we will journey from the arrival of the first colonial settlers to the vibrant, diverse communities of the modern era.
This series offers a front-row seat to the stories of resilience, cultural innovation and civic commitment that have defined a quarter-millennium of Jewish life in "The Golden Land," illuminating how a small immigrant group helped build the foundation of a nation.
Registration is open now for this unique journey through two and a half centuries of heritage.
