Author Talk with Prof. Adam Jortner
“Jews and the American Revolution”

Wednesday, February 4, 7:00 PM (Via Zoom)

In a very special program for America’s 250th birthday, we will host Professor Adam Jortner, author of A Promised Land: Jewish Patriots and the American Revolution and the Birth of Religious Freedom. A lively and comprehensive account of the intersecting histories of Jews and the American founding, detailing how Jewish Patriots not only fought in every major engagement but played a key role in making the right to worship freely a reality.

Prof. Jortner holds an endowed chair at Auburn University, where he is a professor of history. He specializes in the history of religion in the early nation, has written several books on the subject as well as a lecture series on Audible entitled Faith and the Founding Fathers, and he is a frequent contributor to NPR’s “Backstory.”

All are welcome to join!!
