The powerlessness of Jews, whether real or perceived, has long been a theme in the study of Jewish history. More than 20 years ago, historian David Biale reexamined this premise in his now-classic book Power and Powerlessness in Jewish History. Beginning his study in antiquity and continuing through the 1980s, Biale offers still controversial and unique interpretations of the Jewish people's relative "power" or "powerlessness" through the prism of political, social and religious history.  

Join in a discussion of Power and Powerlessness in Jewish History facilitated by Rabbi Dan Bronstein on Monday, March 10 at 8 p.m. in the Temple House. The book is available from various websites in both paperback and hardcover.
