SUMMARY:YINR - Women’s Initiative for Jewish Studies to Bring Dr. Sara Ya
 el Hirschhorn via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Women’s Initiative for Jewish Studies (WIJS) at Young Israel 
 of New Rochelle is proud to present Dr. Sara Yael Hirschhorn on Sunday\, M
 arch 2\, 2025 @ 10:30 am (ET) on Zoom.  Hirschhorn will be the seventh sp
 eaker of the 2024-2025 season in the monthly scholarly programming offered
  by WIJS at YINR.\n\nDr. Hirschhorn’s lecture is entitled\, "New Day in 
 Babylon and Jerusalem: Zionism\, Jewish Power\, and Identity Politics from
  1967 to October 7."  This lecture (based on the author's forthcoming boo
 k) explores the period between 1967 and 1975\, a fascinating chapter of hi
 story about the first parting of ways of Zionism and the Left\, and the un
 raveling of the unanimity of the American Jewish community over Israel (se
 en clearly in post- October 7th debates).  With 1967 as its point of dep
 arture\, Hirschhorn traces the earliest confrontations between two nascent
 \, dueling movements\, “Jewish Power” and “Black Power\,” followin
 g these clashes over the next decade\, culminating in the ‘Zionism is Ra
 cism’ debates of 1975.\n\nThe book and this lecture offer an original\, 
 historical approach to the framework of a “new antisemitism” and a fir
 st-of-its-kind approach of centering Israel in discussions about Jewish pr
 ivilege and power in identity politics since the late 1960s.\n\nDr. Sara Y
 ael Hirschhorn is currently Visiting Professor at the Ruderman Program in 
 American Jewish Studies and Senior Researcher at the Comper Center for the
  Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism and Racism at the University of H
 aifa.  She is also a Fellow at the Jewish People Policy Institute\, Jerus
 alem.  She was previously appointed as the Visiting Assistant Professor i
 n Israel Studies at Northwestern University (2018-2022) and the University
  Research Lecturer in Israel Studies at the University of Oxford (2013-201
 8).  Her research\, teaching\, and public engagement activities focus on 
 Diaspora-Israel relations\, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict\, and the Isr
 aeli Ultranationalist Movement.  Her first book\, “City on a Hilltop: 
 American Jews and the Israeli Settler Movement” (Harvard\, 2017)\, was 
 the winner of the 2018 Sami Rohr Prize in Jewish Literature Choice Award a
 nd a finalist for the 2017 National Jewish Book Award.  She is currently 
 working on a new manuscript entitled "New Day in Babylon and Jerusalem: Zi
 onism\, Jewish Power\, and Identity Politics From 1967 to October 7\," tha
 t will offer a transnational history of the post-Six Day War period.  Apa
