SUMMARY:Jews and the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION: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. \nOn March 12\, we begin the series with Professor Jonathan Sarna\, who will cover three essential topics regarding Jews and the American Revolution.\n  \nFirst\, Americans looked to the story of biblical Jews to justify independence; this is why Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson supported a national seal depicting the Exodus from Egypt. Second\, Jews contributed to the Revolution in a myriad ways. While their overall numbers were small\, many lived in or had taken refuge in Philadelphia\, serving as soldiers\, merchants\, bond dealers\, and more. Third\, and perhaps most importantly\, the Revolution impacted Jews by granting them new rights far beyond mere toleration and transforming American Judaism. The democratization of Judaism and the Jewish community in the United States began in 1776. \nWe invite you to join us for this lecture with Professor Jonathan Sarna followed by Q&A with New York Jewish Week\, editor at large Andrew Silow-Carroll. \nThis is an online only event. After registering\, you will receive the Zoom link via email to join the discussion on March 12. The event will be recorded and sent out to all registrants 24-48 hours after the event. Please note that by registering you will also begin to receive a weekly events email from our 70 Faces Media brands. \nQuestions can be sent to events@70facesmedia.org. \nYou can register for the entire series here. The entire package of at least eight events costs only $54. \nRegister for THIS event by clicking the Buy Tickets button on this page.
