“Hasidic Politics in America:
A Pre-Election Perspective"

Join renowned scholars Dr. Nomi M. Stolzenberg and Dr. David Myers for an engaging discussion on "Hasidic Politics in America: A Pre-Election Perspective," taking place on October 10, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. in the Kelley Presentation Room.

Dr. Nomi M. Stolzenberg holds the Nathan and Lily Shapell Chair at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. Dr. Myers is the Distinguished Professor of History and holds the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair in Jewish History at UCLA. Together, they will examine the political behavior of Hasidism in America, with a special focus on the Satmar Hasidic dynasty. Their joint research offers critical insights into the intersection of religion, law, and politics, as explored in their co-authored work American Shtetl: The Making of Kiryas Joel, a Hasidic Village in Upstate New York.

This event promises to be a thought-provoking discussion of religion and politics in America today.
