In God We Trust-
The impact of Judaism on modern political thought
and Jewish political affiliation
5:30pm
What role has Judaism played in the political evolution of the modern world? If God could vote – would He be a Republican or Democrat; a conservative or liberal? Historically, why have the majority of Jews so consistently voted for the Democratic Party and supported a liberal political agenda? This presentation delves in exciting new discoveries about the profound impact of Jewish thought and law on modern democracy and why Jews vote the way they do.

7:30pm
What does our past say about our future? What's really going on behind the big events on the world stage? How do the decisions we make as individuals impact on the destiny of the world? An insightful introduction into the Jewish view of time and history.
