Allegations of Dual Loyalty in Jewish History with Rabbi Gordon Tucker
March 3, 8:00 – 9:00 p.m. ET
We all have multiple loyalties all the time. Home and work. Spouse and parents. While they sometimes create tangled priorities, we mostly succeed in managing them. But in the spheres of nationalism and politics, the specter of dual loyalty has not always been so manageable, and it has followed the Jewish people throughout their journeys.
We will explore some aspects of this issue as they have appeared in our history from ancient to contemporary times, including adaptations of utility and adaptations of principle. And we’ll consider some of the choices facing today’s young American Jews.
Rabbi Gordon Tucker is JTS’s vice chancellor for Religoius Life and Engagement.
