Sneak Peak of the 10th Annual Greenfield Summer Institute

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

The George L. Mosse/Laurence A. Weinstein Center for Jewish Studies’ Tenth Annual
GREENFIELD SUMMER INSTITUTE

July 12-16, 2009
Madison, Wisconsin

A faculty-taught four-day program including classes, films, field trips, and social events.

This year’s theme:

JEWS AND POLITICS

It was a phenomenally exciting and unpredictable election year in the United States and elections in Israel are likely during the coming year. This year’s annual Greenfield Summer Institute will bring University of Wisconsin-Madison faculty together with scholars and political practitioners from the United States and Israel to look at the topic of Jews and politics. We will learn about the role of politics in Jewish communities in post-emancipation Europe, turn of the century America, and the pre-state Yishuv. We will then move to the present and examine the attitudes, voting behavior, and political activities of American Jews and Israelis. We will hear from both those who study campaigns and elections and those who work in campaigns and elections.
