Lecture Jewish Contributions to Humanity

Presented by Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Florida Atlantic University – Jupiter In this engaging lecture, Dr. Berkowitz explores the rich history, culture, values, and achievements of the Jewish people and their remarkable contributions to society. The program will highlight Jewish accomplishments across a wide range of fields, including business, the arts and entertainment, publishing, philanthropy, fashion, science, government, law, politics, technology, retail banking, and finance. Participants will gain new insights into how and why a relatively small population has made such a significant impact on humanity. The lecture will also examine the complex and troubling persistence of antisemitism and consider why prejudice continues despite the many contributions and achievements of Jewish communities around the world.
