This course is designed to provide a survey of the development of the modern Jewish movements in the United States and hopefully shed light on the similarities that we all share.
The assignments are based on the requirements for rabbinical students and are for personal enrichment only. Your work will not be submitted or reviewed.
Jewish History II is presented to Darshan Training and conversion students as a free gift from Pluralistic Rabbinical Seminary.
