Sunday, March 17, 2024 7 Adar II 5784

10:30 AM - 12:00 PMTakiff Center (999 Green Bay Road, Glencoe) and via Zoom

All Hakafa adults are invited to join us either in-person or via Zoom for Sunday Morning Adult Education. Come early for a cup of coffee and to schmooze.

Join Dr. David Shyovitz to explore “What is Antisemitism? - Part II” This two-session mini course explores the historical trajectory of anti-Jewish rhetoric, violence, and discrimination, using case studies drawn from antiquity through the present. We will pay particular attention to the analytical concepts that historians have developed and deployed—including anti-Semitism, antisemitism, anti-Judaism, and Judeophobia. 

David Shyovitz is an Associate Professor of History at Northwestern University and Director of the Crown Family Center for Jewish and Israel Studies. His research and teaching focus on pre-modern Jewish cultural and intellectual history, particularly Jewish-Christian relations. He is the author of A Remembrance of His Wonders: Nature and the Supernatural in Medieval Ashkenaz.

We hope you will join us!
