The Sinai and Civics course is dedicated in loving memory of Rabbi Eli Schlanger, HY"D

Jewish American. American Jew.

What does being Jewish in America mean to you?


SINAI AND CIVICS

How Jewish values helped shape America’s founding ideals

In time for the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this four-session course reflects on the Jewish ethics, ideas, and values that inspired and influenced America’s founders—and that still shape our government and society today.

Was it always self-evident that all people are “created equal”? What is the “pursuit of happiness”? What inspired America’s system of checks and balances? And looking ahead, what steps can we take to build a just and united future?

(No previous Jewish learning necessary.)
