The American Jewish Experience
Tuesday, April 29, 7:30pm
on Zoom
|
Jews have never been as “at home” as they are in the United States. From their first arrival as Sephardic refugees from the South American Inquisition, to the waves of German and East European Jews in the 19th to early 20th centuries, to Holocaust refugees and survivors, to recent Russians and even Israelis, Jewish immigrants have each added their layer to today’s American Jewish community.
If you missed our previous sessions, it's not too late to join in -- Follow this link to explore our Adult Learning playlist.

Intended for adults and children 6th grade and older

We tend to believe what we want to believe, whether or not it is true. Or we believe what our identity requires us to believe, despite or even in the face of evidence. Science has transformed the world and the human experience, sometimes for good and sometimes not. It is also a fundamental expression of humanism - the importance of human power, knowledge, and responsibility.
Tonight's oneg is hosted by the SciFi Book Club.

American Humanist Association
|
National Conference
June 27-29, 2025
|
National Conference
@ Palmer House Hilton, Chicago
|
The American Humanist Association’s Annual Conference empowers humanists to lead purpose-driven lives rooted in reason, compassion, and progress. As the birthplace of transformative ideas—from secular education to civil rights—humanists have long pushed the boundaries of possibility to create a more open and humane society. This year, we gather in Chicago, where the original Humanist Manifesto was written 92 years ago, to debate and elevate the next wave of humanist thought. Over three days of dynamic discussions, visionary presentations, and inspiring awards, you’ll be challenged, engaged, and part of shaping the future of humanism.
Early bird registration is open.
