If you have previously registered for another session in this series, your registration admits you to all sessions in the series, and you may attend as many as you’d like.
For decades, ºÚÁÏÉç American literature was defined by giants like Roth, Bellow, Malamud, and Ozick, whose novels explored assimilation and the immigrant experience. But what defines ºÚÁÏÉç American writing today? Author and JTS alum Rabbi Benjamin Resnick reflects on how the field has changed and asks whether the ºÚÁÏÉç American novel still exists in the way readers once understood it.
ºÚÁÏÉç the Series
As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the JTS Summer 2026 Learning Series will explore the rich and surprising intersections between ºÚÁÏÉç thought and American life. From baseball and youth culture to constitutional law, storytelling, and democratic theory, leading scholars reveal how ºÚÁÏÉç ideas, texts, and experiences have shaped—and been shaped by—the American experiment.Â
