Jewish History Time Machine
July 9 @ 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM EDT
If you could time-travel to three moments in Jewish History, what moments
would you choose? Join Professor Lupovitch for his three picks (two in the
past, one in the future) which are not only interesting in themselves but can
teach us something vital about where we are today.
July 9 at 7:30pm: A Jewish uprising in the Temple on Sukkot circa 100 b.c.e
The city of Jerusalem was not only the religious center of Judaism but was
also the center of Jewish politics and culture, and sometimes a cauldron of
conflicting ideas and outlooks. What happened when the crowds of Jews making
pilgrimage to Jerusalem became unruly and rioted against the high priest
during a sacrificial service?
July 16 at 7:30pm: A week in the life of Maimonides circa 1170
What was it like to be the royal physician of a Muslim dynasty and the leader
of a prominent Jewish community? What did it mean for a Jew to live with one
foot in the world of Judaism and the other in the tempestuous world of a
Muslim royal court?
July 23 at 7:30pm: Glimpsing the Future: Tel Aviv in 2059
What will Tel Aviv, the great experiment in secular Jewish identity and
culture, look like on its sesquicentennial? Will it still exemplify the
vitality and diversity of Israeli society?
Free to attend but advanced registration at www.cbahm.org/event/timemachine is
