SUMMARY:How Jewish Immigrants Reshaped America with Professor Rebecca Kobrin
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History and 70 Faces Media. \nJoin 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. \nOn June 7 we will be joined for a presentation by Professor Rebecca Kobrin on “How Jewish Immigants Reshaped America.” \nBetween the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, millions of Jews\, along with other Europeans\, decided to uproot themselves from their places of birth and seek their fortunes in new homes around the world. This decision created new cultural and demographic centers for world Jewry\, particularly in the New World\, where by 1920\, New York City represented the densest urban concentration of Jews anywhere in the world. How did these Jewish migrants reshape America? This lecture will explore these questions as it considers the role migration played in reshaping Jewish life along with American culture\, politics and daily life.

SUMMARY:Eastern European Jewish Immigrant Bankers and the Shaping of American Finance\, 1873–1930
DESCRIPTION:The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research presents a discussion of “Credit to the Nation\,” a history of Jewish immigrant lenders in early twentieth-century New York. The book examines how immigrants from the Russian Empire created informal credit networks to help fellow Jews travel to the United States and secure financial support after arrival.

SUMMARY:Entering the Orchard: How We Read the Talmud
DESCRIPTION:The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Education presents a two-part series with Rav Johnny Solomon introducing the four classic levels of Torah interpretation known as Pardes — Peshat\, Remez\, Drash\, and Sod. Using a story from Tractate Sanhedrin about a town called Truth\, where no one ever lies and no one dies before their time\, the sessions follow what happens when a visitor tells a small lie to protect his wife’s privacy. The series offers an accessible introduction to the habits of mind that shape Talmud study\, from reading closely and noticing tensions to asking layered questions and searching beneath the text’s surface.

SUMMARY:Talmud: Cracks in Authority through Four Talmudic Lives
DESCRIPTION:The Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies presents a four-part series examining four Talmudic figures who expose different cracks in authority: Elazar ben Azariah\, the Imposter who feels unqualified; Rabbi Akiva\, the Outsider who never fully believes he belongs; Imma Shalom\, the Insider who refuses to look away; and Rabba bar bar Hana\, the Storyteller who turns to myth when law falters. The Gemara preserves these figures as warnings\, experiments\, and provocations. The series asks what happens to Torah when certainty breaks down.

SUMMARY:The Bible and Film: Exodus\, Creation and American Culture
DESCRIPTION:Since the birth of cinema\, the Bible has been a star of the silver screen\, influencing many of the movies we love. \nSome films retell (or attempt to retell) biblical stories. Others include biblical quotations\, biblically-named figures\, biblical story-lines\, and sometimes Bibles themselves as they tell their own (non-biblical) stories. \nIn this new online course with world-renowned scholar Adele Reinhartz\, we will look at Hollywood examples of both categories — from the iconic “The Ten Commandments” from 1956 to the simulacrum of “The Truman Show” in 1998. \nWe will begin with a general overview that will include some pointers on how to watch these films and what to watch out for. In the sessions that follow\, we will discuss and watch clips from movies based on two central biblical stories: The Exodus story and the story of creation (Genesis 1-3). 			\n			\nOur discussion will focus on 1) how these films are interpreting the bible; 2) what they tell us about the role of the Bible in American society; and 3) what they might say about American society itself. \n6 Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. ET\nJune 9 – July 14
