WEBINARS

BRINGING THE AMERICAN JEWISH EXPERIENCE TO YOU

In honor of the Bicentennial of Reform Judaism (1810-2010), The Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Archives is proud to present the first of four exciting webinars on the history of our movement. Knowledge and material gleaned from these 1-hour sessions can be easily adapted for use in sermons and classes. It is our intention to provide participants with a document that they will be able to use in their own teaching.
