The Shalom Hartman Institute has offered their iEngage curriculum Together and Apart: The Future of Jewish Peoplehood for free to communities around the world.

This live, 10-session virtual course will take place on Tuesdays from 12:00-1:30 pm EDT for 10 sessions, from April 21–June 23, and will be taught by Rabbi Lauren Berkun, Vice President of the Hartman Institute of North America, where she directs Rabbinic Initiatives.

This series addresses the complex features of Jewish peoplehood inherent in our tradition and in our history. Who are we? What does it mean to be a member of the Jewish people? And what are some of the fundamental values that this encompasses? The course will examine contemporary forces challenging peoplehood, including nationalism, antisemitism, dual loyalty, and identity politics, and imagine new conceptual frameworks that can help sustain and grow the story of our people for a new millennium.
