**A Jlearn Pop-Up! The Chosen People And Politics: Judaism And The Election,
with Professor Howard Lupovitch**
Hybrid – In-person at The Max M. Fisher Federation Building or on ZOOM.
**Tuesdays, 7 PM – 8:30 PM**
October 8, 15

Every election poses quandaries for American Jews, especially the choice
between our interests and aspirations as American citizens and also, to do
what is best for Israel. This election is no exception; the choice this time
feels extraordinarily difficult. In these two sessions, we will try to look
past the never-ending campaign rhetoric and place the complexities of this
choice in a broader historical perspective and context.

**_Session 1: Israel _**
What aspects of the political landscape of the last half-century have impelled
politicians in the two parties to be more or less supportive of the State of
Israel? How have events since October 7 altered this landscape?

**_Session 2: Competing Visions of America: What does each mean for Jews?_**
What do conflicting views of specific issues such as a woman’s right to choose
and reproductive freedom and the broader issue of the erosion of democracy,
mean for Jews? How do we navigate the situation in which our political allies
are antisemitic or allied with antisemites?

**_Join Howard and JLearn for this timely and important presentation. We will
offer this in-person or on ZOOM (Hybrid) but you must register in advance for
either one. The sessions will be recorded._**

**Tuition:** $36
