Jewish Radicalism in the United States

Jewish and Israeli History

We will explore the origins and particularly the early development of a tradition of radicalism that uniquely developed in the immigrant community of Jews from the Pale of Settlement in Eastern Europe. Early Jewish socialism and what developed as a specifically Jewish labor movement will be emphasized in the course of the session, with fruitful discussion with participants.
