Modernity and the Enlightenment offered Jews in the 1700s the ability to leave the ghetto, to have rights and opportunities they had never had before, and to be safe from persecution. The American and French Revolutions transformed the world and the Jewish world. With those opportunities came changes and challenges, the challenge of assimilation, and changes to the Jewish community and to Judaism, which would set the course of Jewish history for the next 230 years until this very day.

With the expulsion of the Jewish people from Israel by the Romans, we are faced with new challenges. Stateless, Jews will be vulnerable and persecuted.  However, there will also be great moments of scholarly creativity in Torah and in our contribution to the general societies of the host countries.  We will trace the journeys of Sefardic Jewry in the Arab world, and Ashkenazic Jewry in Europe, and look at some of the great leading figures.

The Second Temple (520 BCE-70 CE) was a period of Jewish Rebellions, the Maccabees against the Syrian Greeks, the Dead Sea Scrolls authors against the Priestly Establishment, the early Christians against Judaism, and the Jewish Zealots against the Roman oppressive rule.  We will discuss the origins of the holiday of Chanukah, and the origins of the writing of the Talmud, and how the Rabbinic leadership prepared the people for exile from the land of Israel.
