Miracles in Modern Judaism – War and Peace Stories
Katya Myer
Wed Jan 7, 07-08:00pm, 4-231
Single session event
Jews have lived through exile, the Holocaust, wars, oppression, forced assimilation and still survive as a nation – a cultural and historical entity. At the roots of our history we find miracles of enormous magnitude: the Exodus from Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, and the supernatural sustenance for 40 years in the deadly desert. During the lecture, we will try to distance ourselves from the reality of today, and analyze our present as if it were the distant past. From this viewpoint, our contemporary lives will seem as miraculous as those of our ancestors.
