A congregational favorite returns. In this installment of his ongoing lecture series on contemporary public issues of interest to Jews as citizens, David Zarefsky will turn his analytical lens to the aftermath of the November 2026 elections and what they mean for our political landscape. David is the Owen L. Coon Professor Emeritus of Communication Studies at Northwestern University, specializing in argumentation and the analysis of American political discourse, as well as a past president of Beth Emet. Join us for what is always a thoughtful, nuanced conversation that helps us make sense of the moment in which we are living.

Beth Emet relies on budgeted funds and donations to support adult education. This year, instead of class fees, we aim to raise $4,000 to cover costs. Please consider an optional donation at registration to help sustain lifelong learning.
