Special Fall Semester of the Wednesday Lunch and Learn
From Sinai to Philidelphia
How Torah Helped Shape America’s Founding Vision
Celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the United States
“Before there was Independence Hall… there was Mount Sinai.”
America’s founders searched history for ideas strong enough to build a new nation. Many of the principles they embraced—human dignity, equality before the law, moral responsibility, liberty, justice, and the rule of law—echo concepts first revealed at Mount Sinai and developed by the Sages of the Talmud.
As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, join us for a fascinating four-part journey exploring the remarkable connection between Torah and the founding of the United States. Discover how Jewish values helped shape America’s founding vision, influenced its system of government, and continue to speak to the challenges facing our nation today.
