SUMMARY:The Jews and Jesus
DESCRIPTION:Sixty years after Nostra Aetate changed the Church’s stance on Jews and the charge of deicide\, we’ll take a closer look at what really changed—and what hasn’t. This course explores how Jews have viewed Jesus and Christianity over the centuries and what this historic shift means for Jewish-Christian relations today.

SUMMARY:Cultivating Optimal Hope in Ourselves and in Others
DESCRIPTION:With Rabbi Leon Morris\, President of Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies\nHope can be challenging to cultivate at any time\, but all the more so in the aftermath of war and violence. Yet\, the obligation of hope is deeply ingrained in our biblical and rabbinic tradition. Some of the best examples can be found in sources that are distant to most of us—tachanun\, messianism and mourning for the Temple. \nRabbi Leon Morris\, a renowned teacher and leading voice in contemporary Jewish learning\, will guide us as we mine texts and practices that can offer us and our communities’ insight and wisdom toward resilience and strength. \nThis study session is in memory of the eleven lives lost on October 27\, 2018: Joyce Fienberg\, Richard Gottfried\, Rose Mallinger\, Jerry Rabinowitz\, Cecil Rosenthal\, David Rosenthal\, Bernice Simon\, Sylvan Simon\, Dan Stein\, Irving Younger and Melvin Wax. \nMay their memories be for a blessing.

SUMMARY:Antisemitism\, an American Tradition: Pamela Nadell in conversation with Bret Stephens
DESCRIPTION:Pamela Nadell’s new book Antisemitism\, an American Tradition investigates the dark history of how this hate threaded across the American past from colonial times to today.

Together\, they will explore how understanding the past can help us stand up and fight back against hate. \nSunday\, October 19\, 2025\nVIP Pre-Reception – 4:00 PM\nProgram – 5:00 PM\nGeneral Reception and Book Signing – 6:00 PM \nVIP tickets include access to the Pre-Reception conversation with Pamela Nadell and Bret Stephens\, as well as a signed copy of the book\, Antisemitism\, an American Tradition.
