Events for December 22, 2024

Join us over Sunday brunch for a conversation about Dr. Shari Rabin’s forthcoming The Jewish South: An American History (Princeton University Press, 2025). Dr. Rabin’s book is the first narrative survey of southern Jewish history. Exploring dynamics of race and religion, it features a wide range of Jewish southerners whose stories complicate popular understandings of their region. In this presentation, Rabin, who taught southern Jewish history at the College of Charleston from 2015-2019, will discuss the process of writing this book and share some of the most intriguing finds from her research. 

This hybrid event will take place in the Jewish Studies Center, Arnold Hall (Room 100) and via Zoom. Brunch will be served beginning at 9:00 AM.
