Join Rabbi Jacob Herber to explore how Jewish history and memory shape identity in this six-part course. Travel through Greece, Spain, Morocco, Poland, and Israel to uncover hidden stories, challenge dominant narratives, and connect past to present. Discover how collective memory informs who we are, and who we can become.

New Bonus!  All students (and their families) will be invited to a night of food tastings from the communities that we “visit” during the course.
