# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Sunday Brunch: Myths, Legends, and Monuments: the Popular Legacy of Early Jewish American History
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 am
- **Event Description**: Michael Hoberman examines how the Jewish experiences of the American Revolution, slaveholding in the early republic and antebellum period, and westward migration have been imagined, commemorated, and frequently mythologized. Focusing on how historical relationships between Jews and Native Americans and Jews and Blacks are interpreted in light of current political developments, he suggests that the stories Americans tell about early American Jews help to shape their views about the racial and cultural complexities of the American present. He analyzes current-day popular representations of Jewish history in the United States, including historical novels and the curation of early synagogues and house museums. Finally, he introduces several current-day descendants of early American Jews whose genealogical backgrounds inform their sense of identity.

Timely and original, Imagining Early American Jews shows how non-specialists’ interpretations and representations of the past are key to understanding Jewish American history and identity.

Brunch is served at 9:00 AM and the lecture begins at 10:00 AM.
