Eternal: The ongoing story of Jewish presence under pressure
Join Zachary Gomo as he unpacks paradigms of Jewish identity across time and place. From ancient Arabia and Yemen, to post-war Poland and communist East Germany, consistent patterns emerge. Loyalty and assimilation are repeatedly demanded of the Jews, even as they are excluded as outsiders, with the land of Israel remaining an ever-present theme throughout.
Explore how Jews responded to these challenges in the past and what these case studies can tell us about the present day.
No previous knowledge is needed, all are welcome to participate. Places are limited.
