Israel Studies Project visitors
The week of September 16, 2024, was full of adventures with our Israel Studies Project visitors, Judy Maltz, a senior correspondent for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, and Amit Schejter, a full professor of communication studies at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. A lunch with seniors at the Champaign-Urbana Jewish Federation, a public lecture, a lunchtime talk, a movie screening, numerous class visits, and so much more. We are looking forward to seeing everyone at our future events.
Samuel Freedman's lecture
On September 11, 2024, PJCS kicked off the new academic year with a marvelous event. Samuel Freedman, an award-winning author and professor at Columbia University, delivered a terrific lecture on Hubert Humphrey's battles against antisemitism and extremism in mid-century America.
