Jewish Contributions to Humanity

Presented by Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Florida Atlantic University

Explore the remarkable history, culture, traditions, values, and achievements of the Jewish people in this thought-provoking lecture. The presentation highlights Jewish contributions across a wide range of fields, including business, arts and entertainment, publishing, philanthropy, fashion, science, government, law, politics, technology, retail, banking, and finance.

Participants will gain new perspectives on how and why a relatively small population has made such a significant impact on global society. The lecture will also examine the troubling paradox of persistent antisemitism and consider why prejudice continues despite the many contributions of Jewish communities throughout history.

Join OLLI at FAU for an insightful exploration of Jewish history, achievement, cultural influence, and the enduring challenge of antisemitism.
