Inthis series\, we will explore three of these concepts that have been especiallypivotal in helping us map out and navigate the challenges of modernity:Assimilation\, Diaspora/Exile\, and Chosenness. \nFree but advance registration at[www.cbahm.org/event/keywords](https://www.cbahm.org/event/keywords) isrequired. \n**July 7: Assimilation** \nThese days\, the notion of assimilation generally has a pejorative connotationthat means abandoning or marginalizing one’s Jewish identity. In fact\, ourforebears often used the term in a more positive way\, referring to the abilityof Jews to incorporate into Jewish life the most vital aspects of mainstreamsociety and culture of Judaism and\, in this way\, enhance Jewish life itself.Thus some measure of assimilation was deemed necessary and even indispensablefor Judaism to thrive; only extreme forms of assimilation were seen as athreat to Jewish survival. \n**July 14: Diaspora/Exile** \nFrom the moment Jews lived outside the Land of Israel\, there has been atension between _exile_ (sense of displacement and loss redeemable onlythrough the restoration of Jewish statehood) -and _diaspora_ \, a belief in thepossibility of building a vibrant Jewish life outside of Israel. While therehave always been some Jews who championed one and rejected the other\, in factthe two conceptions are still inseparable parts of Jewish identity. In theage where the American Jewish community — the most successful diaspora Jewishcommunity — lives alongside the State of Israel\, the tension between exileand diaspora has intensified. \n**July 21: Chosenness** \nWhat does it mean to believe at once that all people are created equal andthat Jews have been singled out by God? This is a quandary that has facedJews for the last three centuries. How do we square the belief that Jews arespecial with our fundamental beliefs in equality? \nOrganized by: Congregation Beth Ahm \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/15757 URL:https://jewishdetroitcalendar.org/event/key-words-for-the-modern-jew-with-professor-howard-lupovitch/ LOCATION:Congregation Beth Ahm 5075 W Maple Rd\,\, West Maple Road 5075\, Michigan\, 48322\, United States CATEGORIES:Adults,English Speaking,Jewish Learning,Older Adults,Parking (free),Special Guest,Wheelchair Accessible ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://jewishdetroitcalendar.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/key_words-aUJaiB.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Congregation Beth Ahm":MAILTO:dgoodman@cbahm.org GEO:42.5430206;-83.3255164 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Congregation Beth Ahm 5075 W Maple Rd West Maple Road 5075 Michigan 48322 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=West Maple Road 5075:geo:-83.3255164,42.5430206 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260714T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260714T203000 DTSTAMP:20260609T232226 CREATED:20260505T193113Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260610T023031Z UID:10008559-1784057400-1784061000@jewishdetroitcalendar.org SUMMARY:Key Words for the Modern Jew with Professor Howard Lupovitch DESCRIPTION:Judaism is replete with concepts that help us define and understand what itmeans to be Jewish and part of the Jewish community in the modern world.
