Join us for Hebrew College Adult Learning’s next travel-learning experience: a civil rights journey through the American South.
The trip will be led by Hebrew College and Etgar 36. Etgar 36 uses the civil rights narrative as a way to provide participants with the tools and inspiration to take the next step beyond social action: social activism. Our civil rights journey uses the history, sites, and current issues as a springboard to highlight the relationship, and at times, the tension, of the Jewish and American identity. The journeys are a mix of fun, sightseeing, education, and meetings with organizations and people who have been and are still involved in creating America.
Participants will learn about the struggles of African-Americans to gain equality in the 1950s and ’60s, as well as discover how Jews were involved in the civil rights struggle. Participants will walk away understanding why Jews, as people who have known oppression, must care and act when others are oppressed. Our journey includes stops in Atlanta, Montgomery, Selma, and Birmingham.
Begin your journey with our summer adult learning course, “How Did We Get Here? Civil Rights, Social Justice, and Race in American Jewish History,” in August, and then travel with us in November.
