The OFJCC and Lehrhaus Judaica present the symposium Cast Out: Taboo, Tyranny and Tolerance from Spinoza to Modern Times.
You know the name: Spinoza. You may know the headline: Twenty-four-year-old Jewish man excommunicated from the Dutch Jewish community. But did you know that Baruch Spinoza has shaped modern Jewish life, identities and attitudes?
On the 340th anniversary of the death of Spinoza, our symposium will demonstrate-by the diversity of our presentations and performances-the impact this young man continues to have on Jewish life and thought.
