Summer Learning with JTS—A Wandering People: Jewish Journeys, Real and Imagined

Monday, August 16, 2021 8 Elul 5781

2:00 PM - 3:30 PM

As the pandemic surged and forced us into our homes, many of us dreamed with new intensity of being elsewhere. For Jews throughout the ages, the promises and perils of travel have been central to shaping the individual and collective experience. Notions of home and homeland have been redefined by Jewish wandering.

Drawing on literary, spiritual, and historical sources and responses, JTS scholars will explore what happens when Jews—whether by force or volun-tarily, whether in reality or in the imagination—travel from one place to an-other.
