In Conversation: The Jewish South

Join author and journalist Nicholas Lemann and attorney and legal scholar Jack Weiss for an engaging interview-style conversation about Lemann's book,

Lemann grew up in New Orleans, the son of German Jews in a world of gilded privilege. But in contrast to his parents, who sought to downplay their religious background, Lemann was intrigued by his roots. Blending biography, journalism, and philosophy, Lemann examines the persistence of antisemitism, the nuances of Southern history, and what it means to find a spiritual and cultural home.
