Jewish Paths to Emancipation: Struggles for Citizenship Across Revolutionary Europe

Join us in celebrating our exhibit, How Jews Became Citizens: Highlights from the Sid Lapidus Collection, with three contributing scholars, Dr. David Sorkin (Yale University), Dr. Marsha Rozenblit (University of Maryland), and Dr. Daniel Schwartz (George Washington University), in conversation with moderator and exhibit curator Ivy Weingram, as they discuss the Sid Lapidus Collection of Early Modern Judaica on which the exhibit is based, as well as overarching issues of Jewish emancipation in Europe and citizenship the world over. The program and exhibit were made possible by the generous support of Sid and Ruth Lapidus, a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. This event took place on November 17, 2022.
