In Rabbi Rembaum's continuing series, he explores the rise and evolution of antisemitism, defined simply as “hatred toward Jews” (IHRA — International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance). The learning is text based and emphasizes interactive discussion. There is some lecturing, primarily to provide historical background. The sessions are organized chronologically: 1. Greek and Roman sources through the lens of Josephus Flavius, 2. Christian and Muslim writings through the 16th century, and 3. the rise and evolution of secular antisemitism from the 19th through the 21st centuries.
This session took place via Zoom on June 25, 2025.
Special Guest: Rabbi Emeritus Joel Rembaum.

This is the eighth and final class in the second series studying the Book of the prophet Amos. This session focuses on Amos Chapter 9. Amos was active in the mid-eighth century BCE (ca. 750 BCE). He lived in the kingdom of Judah, in a town called Tekoa, some ten miles south of Jerusalem. Although he was from the Southern Kingdom, his prophecies focused on Israel, the Northern Kingdom. Unlike many of the other prophets, his primary charges against Israel dealt with injustice and immorality. Paganism, for Amos, was a secondary issue. Amos was a master of rhetorical argument, and his powerful use of metaphors is classical.
