- We’ll look back at some of the particularly unconventional and surprising moments in our tradition in more modern history. in relation to current themes and trends within the modern Jewish community.
- Topics include Abraham’s circumcision in the bible to more modern moments like the discovery of Ethiopian Jews and the Trefa Banquet in the 1800s.
