Taught by: Rabbi Elianna Yolkut

We will explore this 20th century conception of the notion of peoplehood conceived of by Rabbi Joseph Solevetchik and explore texts that challenge his ideas and we will ask probing questions in the 21st century - does peoplehood exist any longer? Do we have a shared identity with all Jews? How does our diaspora/Israel relationship help to shape or unravel that connection? What is our responsibility to the mythic “people Israel” when we have moral, religious and political disagreements?
