In this 6-week course we will examine the ways in which American and Jewish values both align and diverge. We will explore what our tradition says about liberty and the democratization of leadership. We will also learn texts that highlight America's commitment to liberalism and democracy and whether or not those values have roots in Torah. Join us as we dive into the most pressing questions of our time.

Join us for a screening of Above and Beyond. In 1948, just three years after the liberation of Nazi death camps, a group of Jewish American pilots answered a call for help. In secret and at great personal risk, they smuggled planes out of the U.S., trained behind the Iron Curtain in Czechoslovakia and flew for Israel in its War of Independence. A fascinating little known tale filled with heart, heroism and high flying chutzpah. 

$10/person. A light lunch will be served prior to
screening of the film.
