Jewish-Christian Relations: A History* 
Rabbi Joe Skloot, Ph.D.  
Rabbi Aaron D. Panken Assistant Professor of Modern Jewish Intellectual History at HUC-JIR/New York 

April 30, May 7 & 14 

**Special Time: 6:30-7:30 p.m. 

This course will explore the transformations Jewish communities and Judaism underwent after the emergence of Christianity as a world-historical force. We will consider the ways Jews both sought to acculturate (adopt the ideas and practices of the majority) and differentiate themselves. Special emphasis will be placed on the origins of Christianity and rabbinic Judaism, economic interrelationships, anti-Judaism and Anti-Semitism, and Zionism and modern Jewish politics. No previous knowledge is required. 

Join us in person or online via zoom. No registration is needed.
