Four-Part Series on Michael Walzer's Exodus and Revolution
Exodus and Revolution, by Michael Walzer, traces the dynamics of revolution, redemption and liberation through the biblical story of the Israelites leaving Egypt for the Promised Land. It also examines later retellings of Exodus by diverse groups including classical rabbinic interpreters and political actors who used the story as the rallying point for their own revolutionary struggles.
Coming to DC from NYC, this 4-week course will unpack Exodus and Revolution through intensive learning in chevrutah (in pairs) and through facilitated discussions. The primary instructor for the course is Rabbi Erica Asch, AJWS alumna and community organizer with the Washington Interfaith Network.
Dates: Weekly, starting on Thursday March 12th and ending on Thursday, April 2nd
**The course will end just in time for you to bring your newfound insights to your Passover Seder!

What people said about last year's six-part series in NYC:
I came every time, an incredible feat with my schedule!
It was great to have the opportunity to do some sustained Jewish learning with this community, and also great to have the social justice focus.
It was fun to be in an intellectual environment voluntarily when no longer in school, but also something that is not solely academic or intellectual but very much tied up in who we are.
