The Jewish Story Live is not a class in Jewish history, of facts and figures as they relate to the Jewish people. It is a presentation of the Jewish story through time to give thinking Jews like you a vision of how your individual life in the present is connected to the past and future of the Jewish people.
Can you relate to these questions:
How do I be true to my Jewish identity and my identity as a member of all humankind? What does this tension ask of me? Jewish history has not been easy.
How do I make sense between the critical challenges of historical knowledge and the sacred power of traditional narrative?
The facts of history can be solid foundations, but the Jewish past is filled with wonder and wisdom which are best understood from inside.
This course is for those who want to engage those questions, to live a rich Jewish life by learning more sides of their own story. We will study the past through the lens of the Jewish Story and come to understand ourselves and our communities

next study session begins Sunday August 8th. We will be covering Jewish history from 1945-1967.
1945 -1948:
Struggle for liberation
In the wake of World War Two came first the anti-colonial fight against British rule and then war with the Arab world for independence. Throughout these crises, the struggle between Jews for realizing their own vision never ceased.
1948 - 1951:
The Ingathering
Unbroken by war, the new state of Israel tripled in population in a few years. This massive human influx necessitated historic decisions which shape Israel to this day.
1951 - 1956:
Border Wars
1948 ended not with peace but with ceasefire, and not even much of that. The relationship between the Jewish State and the Arab peoples within and surrounding it evolved in these violent and formative years, as each struggled to find its boundaries.
1956-66:
Coming of Age
As the new state of Israel is gaining a measure of stability, American Jewry is developing a character and communal structure all its own. Many of the elements of their present relationship originate in this fateful decade.
1961-1967:
The Six Day War
The approach to the Six Day War, its events and its aftermath mark the intersection between many global currents. The transformation which Israeli and global Jewry experience will define much of the Jewish people for the coming decades.
1964 -1969 :
The Jewish 60's
At the heart of Sixties lies a uniquely Jewish experience. Jews were central participants in and witnesses to the struggle for Civil Rights, the cultural revolution and the rise of ethnic pride in America.
