Future of American Judaism
2002 Carl and Dorothy Bennett Lecture in Judaic Studies. Ismar Schorsch, Ph.D. Chancellor, Jewish Theological Seminary of America and Herman Abramowitz Professor of Jewish History. \u27Today, for too many [American] Jews, a preoccupation with self and a secular frame of mind militate against any sense of personal, [religious] obligation... If we can saturate our homes with echoes of eternity, our children will naturally absorb Judaism as... a moral compass, a medium of expression, and a source of pride.\u27 -Ismar Schorsch, Keeping Judaism at the Center.https://digitalcommons.fairfield.edu/bennettcenter-posters/1218/thumbnail.jp
