A Reform and Conservative Synagogue Serving the Rivertowns
Have you ever wondered what life was like for Jews throughout history as the minority within a larger majority? These lectures will explore Jewish life under Christian Europe and under Islamic rule in the Iberian Peninsula and in the Middle East. The focus will be on specific historical epochs that illustrate the impact the non-Jewish majority populations had on Judaism and Jewish life. Stessa Peers is a graduate of Binghamton University and is an expert in Judaic History.
