Join the New York Jewish Week in partnership with UJA-Federation New York for the next event in our Folio literary series: a conversation with historian Jonathan D. Sarna of Brandeis University on his book Lincoln and the Jews, and Laura Leibman of Princeton University.
Lincoln and the Jews provides the first full-scale history of Abraham Lincoln’s relationship with American Jews. Sarna and Benjamin Shapell explore how Lincoln’s remarkable regard for American Jews affected his path to the presidency and his policy decisions once in the White House. A groundbreaking work, this stunning volume contributes to Civil War-era Jewish American history and uncovers a new facet to Abraham Lincoln’s legacy. The new paperback edition with a new preface and rarely seen documents will be available to order from Amazon on February 11th.
