SUMMARY:Jewish History of the Declaration of Independence with Capital Jewish Museum

Auslin will be in conversation with Professor Lauren Strauss\, Director of Undergraduate Studies for American University’s Jewish Studies Program. \nIn partnership with the Haberman Institute for Jewish Studies. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Capital Jewish Museum \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
