The Matrix of Jewish Identity
Who, or what, is a Jew - and how? These questions of status are personally charged, existentially weighty, and politically resonant. We’ll gather as a group who, first and foremost, cares about the strong and tender claims we each make to Jewishness, and about one another. And on that foundation we’ll explore the contemporary matrix of Jewish identity - in our lives, in the world at large, and in Yale’s Jewish community. Categories of race and gender, Whiteness and immigration, law and family, belief, and obligation will guide our exploration. This work will culminate in a collaborative project to intervene in and transform our own community - the content and purpose to be determined by the group itself.

We'll meet biweekly, beginning after fall break, at a time chosen by the group.
