Author Meets Critics with Alan Wolfe: “At Home in Exile”
Update: 2014-11-12
Description
Many Jewish thinkers have considered it close to heresy to validate life in the Diaspora. But what if the Diaspora is a blessing in disguise? In At Home in Exile, Alan Wolfe, writing for the first time about his Jewish heritage, makes an impassioned, eloquent and controversial argument that Jews should take pride in their Diasporic tradition. Wolfe is joined by a distinguished panel of scholars who review and critique this work.
