Event Details

Dr. Jonathan Golden, Director of the Center on Religion, Culture, and Conflict at Drew University and instructor in the Departments of Comparative Religion, Anthropology and the Theological School, will present a two-lecture series on Judaism.  He will examine the core tenets, beliefs, practices, and cultures of Judaism. The first lecture on May 3 will include a brief historical survey of the roots and evolution of Judaism and the Jewish people over time, including its influence and interactions with people of other "Abrahamic" faiths.  The second lecture on May 10 will examine Judaism and the Jewish experience in the modern world, including intriguing questions about Jewish identity, and the current resurgence of global anti-Semitism.

Professor Golden also runs the Drew Institute on Religion and Conflict Transformation, which brings together young, emerging leaders of different faiths from around the world for a seminar on leadership, peacebuilding, and conflict resolution.
