Retired teacher Mike Radow will consider aspects of American History that most of us did not learn in school. We will examine landmark Supreme Court cases in historical context and look at their implications for today. The format will be brief lecture with a focus on discussion in large group and in breakout rooms for richer interaction. Session 1 will cover 1850-1885. Session 2 will cover 1895- 2015.
Some of the events presented in Turning Points in Modern History, including the discovery of the New World and the fall of the Berlin Wall, will immediately resonate as watershed moments. The global significance of other pivotal events may only become apparent through the professor's guidance, such as the publication of the Enlightenment-era Encyclopédie and the Russo-Japanese War—which has been historically overshadowed by the two world wars that followed.
This course is for individuals who want to take their knowledge and skills to the next level in terms of trans identity and how to create congregations that are fully inclusive and affirming of the full breadth of gender diversity.
Join us as we celebrate Mardi Gras and Purim. Together, we'll reflect upon the power of reversals. Nothing has the power to change us, confront us with reality, open our ears to a new truth, or turn our life in a different direction like a reversal can; a time when our world is turned upside down.
