Rabbi Ari Sunshine
Together & Apart: The Future of Jewish Peoplehood

Picture
Join Rabbi Ari Sunshine via Zoom on select Wednesdays from 7 - 9 pm 
December 2, 9, 16
January 6, 13, 20, 27
February 3, 10, 17, 24
March 3, 10, 17 

Explore the complex features of Jewish peoplehood and the contemporary challenges to the Jewish people in an era in which we have moved from having no home to having two different, vibrant, homes in Israel and in North America. 
The 14-week curriculum from the Shalom Hartman Institute's iEngage Project includes video lectures, interviews, and textual sources, examining the forces dividing the Jewish people today, including nationalism, antisemitism, dual-loyalty, and identity politics. We'll consider what it means to be a member of the Jewish people and the core values that animate Jewish peoplehood and imagine new conceptual frameworks that can help sustain and grow the story of our people for a new millennium.
​
Curriculum:
Unit 1: From No Home to Two Homes
Unit 2: The Judaism of Being
Unit 3: The Judaism of Becoming
Unit 4: On Universalism and Particularism
Unit 5: Between Nationalism, Ultra-Nationalism, and Fascism
Unit 6: The Moral Implications of Jewish Nationalism
Unit 7: The Israeli Nation-State Law
Unit 8: Antisemitism as a Divisive Force
Unit 9: Antisemitism and Anti-Zionism
Unit 10: The Accusation and Dilemma of Dual Loyalties
Unit 11: “What’s Good for the Jews?” Identity Politics in North America
Unit 12: From Family to Consumer
Unit 13: Shared Believers, Partners and Investors
Unit 14: At-Homeness
