About this Event

JLI: Sinai and Civics - Morning Class

4 Wednesday Mornings 9:30-11:00 A.M.

July 29 - August 19

NEW four-week course starts on Wednesday, July 29, and runs through August 19. Classes will be offered in the morning at 9:30AM and in the evening at 7:30PM.

In time for the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this four-session course reflects on the Jewish ethics, ideas, and values that inspired and influenced America’s founders and that still shape our government and society today.

Was it always self-evident that all people are "created equal"? What is the "pursuit of happiness"? What inspired America’s system of checks and balances? And looking ahead, what steps can we take to build a just and united future?
