Jewish leaders used to insist that there was no such thing as “Jewish politics” in the United States: it does not exist and should not exist. The historical record going all the way back to Abraham Lincoln paints a very different picture. Focusing on presidential elections, Dr. Sarna's Bamberger Lecture will survey Jewish politics in the United States from the Civil War to the present.

Free admission. Photo ID required.
