Jewish Heritage Lecture Series

This lecture by David Myers, UCLA, will focus on an early Jewish reflection on the Palestinian refugee problem by recovering the lost voice of Simon Rawidowicz (1897-1957). Rawidowicz was a wide-ranging Jewish scholar best known for his distinctive view of Jewish nationalism. In the early 1950s, Rawidowicz came to believe that the age-old Jewish Question had been transformed by the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.
