Rabbi Steven Silver: Turning Points in Jewish History

Two thousand years of Jewish history can be seen as a successful and often surprising process of adaptations to powerful external threats. Jewish life continues to thrive in traditional and innovative ways due to its ability to reinterpret the Covenantal beliefs. Rabbi Steven Silver will present a five-part series looking at turning points in Jewish history: the Destruction of the Temple, the Crusades, Rashi, Expulsion from Spain, Chassidism, the Enlightenment, Modernity, Herzl, and more.
