The Jewish Story Season 3, Ep20: The Spirit of the 60’s Part I: Pragmatism and Prophecy

Posted by Mike Feuer on August 10, 2020
Topics: The Jewish Story

The 1960s were a revolutionary period in American history, and since the Jews were so deeply involved it is a turning point in the Jewish Story as well. This episode begins our slow march toward 1967 with a look at how the twin spirits of prophecy and pragmatism moved Jewish leadership during the Civil Rights movement.
