American Jews In 2022: Who Counts? And Why That's Important

Community Event

Feb. 10, 5:30pm

*On Zoom*

In recent years, American Jews have become much more aware of the diversity of their community. American Jews are not only Ashkenazi Jews whose ancestors immigrated to the U.S. from Eastern Europe, but also Sephardic Jews, Mizrahi Jews, Jews of color, and Jews of many other backgrounds.

In this talk, sociologist and thought leader Dr. Mijal Bitton explains why understanding this diversity and its implications is so crucial for the future of American Jewry.

Presented by Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at PSU. Co-sponsored Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, the Oregon Jewish Community Foundation, PSU College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and PSU Department of Sociology.
