Dear Friends,

Here at the Jewish Literary Foundation (https://jewishliteraryfoundation.co.uk/about-us) we are delighted to be partnering with Lockdown University (https://www.lockdownuniversity.org/)  for an essential four-week online course, starting tomorrow (5 September) at 5pm BST and free to all.

Over the past 200 years, the Jewish world has undergone profound transformations. This course explores the complex journey of the Jewish people from the era of Enlightenment, which introduced ideas of emancipation, liberalism, and tolerance, to the present day, where those very forces have, in some cases, turned against them.

In The Jews and the Crisis of Modernity (https://jewishliteraryfoundation.co.uk/events) , historian and educator Trudy Gold delves into the effects of Jewish emancipation, the evolving challenges to Jewish identity, and the rise of modern antisemitism. We will also examine the emergence of Zionism, the devastating impact of the Holocaust, and the creation of the State of Israel. Beyond the Jewish experience, we will consider how these events have shaped global history and influenced the wider world.

Sign up today to receive the link to this free course (https://mailchi.mp/jewishliteraryfoundation/the-jews-and-the-crisis-of-modernity)

All classes begin at 5pm BST and last for approximately one hour

5-Sept | Part 1: From Ghetto to Emancipation and the Redefining of Jewish Identity
12-Sept | Part 2: Nationalism and its Discontents – Antisemitism and Zionism
19-Sept | Part 3: The Russian Empire and Jewish Migrations

We hope you can join us. And remember, if you aren’t able to watch it live, it will be available shortly in our free online archive, the JLF Player (https://jewishliteraryfoundation.co.uk/jlf-player) .
