Please join us during Chol HaMoed for a shiur with Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller, The Sukkah of Exile: R. Yonatan Eybeschutz’s Jewish Counter History. Is exile a punishment or an opportunity? Focusing on R. Yonatan Eybeschutz’s Sukkot homily, we will explore a contrary understanding of Jewish history that emphasizes the positive dimensions of exile as both a Jewish and societal value with profound implications for the future of national self-understanding.
We will gather in a sukkah at a private home in Riverdale. This event is in-person only.
Exact location will be sent via email to registrants.
Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller was ordained at Yeshiva University in 1971, and served for forty years as the Executive Director of the Yitzhak Rabin Hillel Center for Jewish Life at UCLA. A founding member of Americans for Peace Now, he is currently a faculty member of the Shalom Hartman Institute, North America and of the Wexner Heritage Foundation.
