Through video lectures, interviews, and textual sources, this curriculum examines the forces dividing Israeli and American Jewry today, including nationalism, antisemitism, and identity politics; and, it imagines new conceptual frameworks that can help sustain and grow the story of our people for a new millennium.
When you register for the class, you will be given a password that gives you access to the Hartman videos and source material.
For each class, we will ask you to watch the main 30-minute Hartman video lecture in advance. During class we will review and discuss the lecture, watch a Hartman interview based on the lecture and discuss the video together.

Making a Minyan:
Please note we need to have a two-way video and sound connection to be able to count people for a minyan, so please have your video and sound on if you want to be counted. The rationale used from a halachic perspective for allowing the formation of a minyan remotely is based on a source in the Talmud that indicates people who can see and hear each other can count together for a minyan, even if they are not in the same place. If you are with us on the video connection, you can recite kaddish and fully participate in all parts of the prayer service. These rules aren’t intended to be for the long run – they are an emergency measure because of these extraordinary times.
