Jonathan Karp, <<Beyond ‘Capitalism and the Jews’: Exploring Economic Conceptions of Jewish History>>

November 20, 2014
7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Columbus Jewish Community Center, 1125 College Ave., Columbus, OH, 43209


Presented by the Melton Center for Jewish Studies

Jewish economic history is vital to understanding Jewish survival, the structure of Jewish communities, and Jews’ complex relations with non-Jews over time. Economic history is rarely discussed by historians of the Jews, however, for fear that it will give ammunition to anti-Semitic theorists who depict Jews in conspiratorial and exploitative terms. This presentation will highlight some of the ways in which economic history illuminates Jewish history as a whole.

This program is free and open to the public. Contact the Melton Center for more information.
