SUMMARY:From Prophecy to Leading Jewishly - TEE
DESCRIPTION:The largest section of the TaNaKh\, our most central Jewish text\, is Nevi’im\, the Prophets. In the numerous books of this section\, we encounter the prophets of our tradition. The prophets in this text are passionate and moral people who desperately want to pass the word of God onto the Israelite people. The task of these figures is to be a compelling microphone of God\, and help the chosen people find the best way to live according to God’s laws. Each prophet strives to make the world a better place. In the course\, we will dive deeply into the Prophets\, learning how to apply the text to our modern lives as well as examining the text itself through a lens on the Hebrew and commentary.

SUMMARY:The Future of Holocaust Remembrance with Dr. Lauren Bairnsfather
DESCRIPTION:Twenty-five years ago\, Dr. Lauren Bairnsfather wrote an oral history of the “second generation\,” children of Holocaust Survivors\, in the United States. How did they think of themselves as individuals and as a group? How were they viewed from the outside of the close-knit communities that Holocaust Survivors formed in this country? How did they rise to meet the expectations of their legacy? In the 1970s\, objecting to their being defined by a psychological profile of Survivors that focused on damage and trauma\, the second generation formed organizations of their own. Yet\, due to conflicting identities\, priorities\, and personalities\, these groups often disbanded. What has lasted are nearly 100 museums and education centers across the United States. \nHolocaust remembrance has been institutionalized\, from small towns to the National Mall. But who carries the torch now? In this talk\, Dr. Bairnsfather will revisit the topic of Holocaust remembrance in 2026. To what extent does Holocaust remembrance rest in the hands of the third and fourth generations? How can the work of memorializing the Holocaust\, viewed as sacred by many\, rise to meet the growing need to counter rising antisemitism across the globe?
