The Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education is excited to once again collaborate with the Weekend in Quest Committee to present this year’s program featuring Sasha Senderovich, assistant professor in the department of Slavic Languages and Literatures and the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, and a faculty member at the Strom Center for Jewish Studies, at the University of Washington, Seattle.
Weekend in Quest 2022 will be presented virtually, in Zoom format, on March 5-6, 2022, honoring the program’s roots as a Shabbaton Study Weekend. Senderovich’s lectures will include Hammer and Pickle: How Soviet Jews Joked—And Were Joked About; Rooted and Rootless: History, Memory and Cultural Mythology; and Scenes of Encounter: How American Jews Imagined Soviet Jews—and Vice Versa. A Havdalah service will be led by Cantor Barbara Slader.
