America is built upon transformative ideas, beautiful pieces of writing, and passionate voices from all perspectives. Combining the Jewish habits of parshanut with the rich treasury of American texts will inspire and reteach how complex narratives can unify us as a community of Americans. In honor of our country’s 250th anniversary, this 5-week class will grapple with historic American writing, confront the tensions present in our historical foundations and contemporary context, and deepen a conversation around what it means to be an American — and to be Jewish — in the 21st century.

Led by Rabbi Rachel Schmelkin and Rabbi Sue Shankman
