SUMMARY:“The Jewish Problem\, Then and Now: Rethinking Louis Brandeis’s Liberalism”
DESCRIPTION:A Symposium sponsored by the Julis-Rabinowitz Program on Jewish and Israeli Law at the Harvard Law School  \n*Sep. 16\, 2025*   \nPOUND HALL 101\n1563 Massachusetts Avenue\nCambridge\, MA 02138 \nZOOM LINK \n2025 marks the 110th anniversary of Louis Brandeis’s famous essay\, “The Jewish Problem – How to Solve It.” Taking as his point of departure the persistence of antisemitism in the twentieth-century world\, Brandeis laid out a diagnosis of liberalism’s challenges and a positive vision for its future. His essay also marked a major statement on liberal Zionism and the rationale for American Jewish commitment to reconciling Jewish nationalism and American democracy. A century later\, we revisit this text and the broader Brandeisian legacy to think about the contemporary questions of liberalism and Zionism\, law and economics\, and citizenship and group rights in American law.  \nSymposium Chairs: Noah Feldman\, Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law\, Harvard Law School and James Loeffler\, Felix Posen Professor of Modern Jewish History\, Johns Hopkins University \nWith William Forbath (Univ. of Texas\, Austin)\, Amalia Kessler (Stanford)\, Linda Kinstler (Harvard)\, Shaul Magid (Harvard)\, Eric Nelson (Harvard)\, Simon Rabinovitch (Northeastern)\, and Laura Weinrib (Harvard) \nEvent Schedule  \n4pm\nWelcome from James Loeffler and Noah Feldman \n4:15 – 5:30pm\nWilliam Forbath “Brandeis and his Jewish Socialist Critics & Collaborators on Zionism & Industrial Democracy”  \nAmalia Kessler “Arbitration and the Jewish Question\, 1900-1950”  \nSimon Rabinovitch Moderator  \n5:30-6:30pm\nShaul Magid “Jewish Nationality\, Nationhood\, and Diaspora Nationalism: Reading Mordecai Kaplan and Daniel Boyarin through Louis Brandeis” \nLaura Weinrib “Free Speech\, Group Rights\, and Jewish Identity” \nLinda Kinstler moderator \n6:45-7:45pm \nKeynote: “Brandeis’s Jewish Question(s): Global Liberalism Reconsidered”\nJames Loeffler\nResponse: Noah Feldman\nModerator: Eric Nelson \n(Thank you to Nutter\, McClennen & Fish\, LLP for their support)
