Lunch and Learn: What is Jewish Memory?
Jews are often referred to as the people of the book. But we are really the people of memory—not the solitary, individual kind, but rather a collective, time-, space-, and culture-transcending mix of narrative, experience, and ideology in which Jewish identity is grounded.  Jewish memory is the fertile soil in which the question, "Who is a Jew?" finds answers and stability, because memory, strangely enough, is not really about the past.
Come explore your answers to this question at the first Lunch and Learn of the year, in a discussion led by Dr. Oren Stier, Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the FIU Holocaust Studies Initiative.
Thursday, Oct. 26 at 12-1:30pm in the Hillel Space in PG6
