Restoring the American Story: How a global superpower was shaped by Jewish values

On-Demand Recording

In preparation for President’s Day, we’re examining the often overlooked connection between Jewish values and the building blocks of the United States. Our new series, Restoring the American Story, will help students understand the influence that Torah values have had on the moral foundation of one of the world’s biggest superpowers.

Join Sarah Gordon from Unpacked for Educators and Elana Riback Rand from the Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought at Yeshiva University as they take a closer look at how Jewish principles have inspired the U.S. founding fathers, key historical figures and modern day leaders, so that they will see the relevancy of Torah values today.
