Ever wonder where Jews come from and how Judaism came about? Come learn the basics of Jewish history—all 3,000 years of it! At the same time, consider the deeper meaning of history for Jews today.

The overarching question—what is the use of Jewish history to us today?—will be addressed throughout.
