Foundations of Freedom
The Jewish Ethics That Shaped America's Founding
Was it always self-evident that all people are "created equal"? What is the "pursuit of happiness"—and where did that idea come from? Why did America's founders design a government with three separate branches?
In time for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this four-session course explores the Jewish ethics, ideas, and values that inspired America's founding—and that continue to shape our government and society today.
(No previous Jewish learning required.)
