LECTURE
WHERE TO FOR THE JEWS?
by Professor Adam Mendelsohn

Wednesday, 29 April | 5.30pm​​​​
​
Historians make poor prophets. Richard Evans warned that it “is always a mistake for a historian to try to predict the future. Life, unlike science, is simply too full of surprises.” Yet at a moment of profound (and unforeseen) crisis in the Jewish world there is new urgency in interpreting the present and divining the future. Drawing on decades of data collected by the Kaplan Centre, this talk will place the tumultuous present in historical perspective –
demographic and religious trends, political alignments, patterns of prejudice – to assess the direction of Jewish life in South Africa.​
