The Three Chairs

Join us for the next lecture series featuring the scholars behind Nebraska’s three endowed chairs in Jewish Studies.

November 4, 7:00 pm: Dr. Omri Senderowicz, Assistant Professor of History and Director of Schwalb Center for Israel and Jewish Studies, University of Nebraska-Omaha, examines what the rise and impasse of the Israeli kibbutz can teach us about sustaining a community built on social justice.

December 3, 6:00 pm: Dr. Ari Kohen, Kripke Chair of Judaic Studies and Director of Harris Center for Judaic Studies at University of Nebraska–Lincoln, discusses how practicing civil discourse across difference can strengthen our communities.

Whether your interest is history, philosophy, ethics, or current events, this series is a chance to connect with some of Nebraska’s leading Jewish academics.

Each program will bring all three scholars together, with one serving as the featured speaker and the other two joining the conversation, followed by audience questions.

Lectures will be held at the Staenberg Omaha JCC.
