The annual Beinner Symposium brings together world-renowned scholars from a variety of disciplines – from history to literature, to economics, to sociology and more – to foster innovative collaborations that open new directions for the study of the American Jewish experience. The Inaugural Beinner Symposium will bring leading journalists and historians together to address the current moment in time for Jewish Americans. Journalists who see the value in engaging with history will come together with historians who aim to give their own research contemporary relevance, providing a space for closed dialogue to learn from one another and to flesh out ideas. At the heart of our discussion will be a central set of related questions: In what ways is this a unique moment for American Jews, and how can the past inform our understanding of the present?
With Franklin Foer, Mark Oppenheimer, Pamela Nadell and Susannah Heschel moderated by Michael Cohen.
