Limited space available. Registration required.

For centuries, the Jewish people survived without a sovereign homeland, a political center, or a Jewish national defense force. How did this experience of exile shape the political outlook of the Jewish people? How has the founding and success of Israel reshaped the Jewish political imagination? And how should American Jews think about the meaning of Jewish power today?

Join us for another special opportunity to learn and discuss these fundamental questions with Prof. Ruth Wisse. Recently retired from her position as Martin Peretz Professor of Yiddish Literature and Professor of Comparative Literature at Harvard, Prof. Wisse is currently Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Tikvah Fund. She is the author of several books, including If I Am Not for Myself: The Liberal Betrayal of the Jews (1992) and Jews and Power (2007), and is one of the preeminent Jewish-Zionist intellectuals in America.
