Interwoven Journeys: Three Crossroads in Black-Jewish History
Hosted By: The Siegal Lifelong Learning Program at Case Western Reserve University
Siegal Lifelong Learning at CWRU explores three powerful and often overlooked intersections between Black and Jewish histories. The program examines African Israelite communities, including Ethiopian Jews, Igbo, and Lemba traditions, and considers how racial narratives have shaped perceptions of Jews and Blacks in America, alongside a look at musical exchange through figures such as George Gershwin and the world of jazz. The sessions also investigate the shared roots of anti-Black racism and antisemitism, revealing an interconnected story that continues to shape culture and identity today.
