Rethinking Jewish History

Exciting and Untold Chapters of the Jewish Past

Wednesday, July 6, 2011 - 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

At North Suburban Synagogue Beth El
1175 Sheridan Road, Highland Park

This innovative mini-course examined four intriguing themes in Jewish history that receive little attention in traditional accounts. Join us as we learn about a range of Jewish healers, criminals, charlatans, and false messiahs, even Jewish responses to natural disasters throughout history. All four sessions were taught by Dr. Dean P. Bell, Spertus Dean and Chief Academic Officer.
