Panel: From Generation to Generation - 130 Years of Jewish Life at Brown Brown University. Creator Berman, Aidan R. interviewee Himmelfarb, Stuart interviewee Hirschfeld, Elizabeth interviewee Hirschfeld, James interviewer Hirschfeld, Neil interviewee Kirschenbaum, Abram interviewee Meyer, Ellen Shaffer interviewee videos Event description: What was it like to be a Jewish student at Brown in the mid-20th century? This panel will explore the unique experience of Jewish men and women at Brown and Pembroke College in the 1950s and early 1960s. During this time, chapel attendance was mandatory, fraternities were segregated, and kosher food wouldn’t be available for decades. Discussion will then fast-forward to the early 1970s and examine how the on-campus Jewish experience changed just a half-generation later. And, compare all of this to the experience of students in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as today’s campus. Moderator James Hirschfeld ’91, P’25.
