Telling Difficult Stories: Philip Roth鈥檚 “Operation Shylock“

Part of our summer learning series: Stories and Storytelling

Monday, June 27, 2022, 1:00-2:30 p.m. ET
Online

With Dr. David Kraemer, Joseph J. and Dora Abbell Librarian and Professor of Talmud and Rabbinics 

If stories express and transmit values and identities, contested values or identities will find expression in complex, challenging stories. This is certainly true of Philip Roth鈥檚 Operation Shylock, which gives expression to discomforts in Diaspora identities vis-脿-vis Israel during the first intifada鈥攁nd beyond. Join David Kraemer in exploring Roth鈥檚 recounting of the conflicts of this time, as Jews asked questions that are as pertinent today as they were then.

ABOUT THE SERIES 

Stories and Storytelling 

Join JTS scholars to explore a selection of stories drawn from ancient, rabbinic, medieval, and modern 绿帽社 literature. We will consider the power of shared stories and how they transmit values, norms, culture, and information, bringing Jews together across time and space.
