A Nation That Dwells Alone: Questions and Implications

A virtual event presentation by Dr. Noam Weissman

ABOUT THE EVENT:
This session will explore the age old question about the ontological nature of the Jewish people. Are the Jewish people separate and apart from the rest of the world? Is Balaam’s prophecy a promise, a description or a prescription? In looking at modern Jewish history, how do we explore this question and what does it mean for us today?
