Speaker: Richard Kreitner

Journalist and historian Richard Kreitner employs the Biblical story of the Exodus from Egypt to illuminate the social, moral religious, and political upheaval during Civil War era. He tells the intertwined stories of six American Jews who helped to shape a tumultuous time, including Judah Benjamin, Morris Raphall, Isaac Mayer Wise, David Einhorn, August Bondi, and Ernestine Rose. Each had different opinions about bondage, and their actions influenced others to divergent paths. Fear No Pharaoh illustrates the shifting dynamics of Jewish life in America.
