Shakespeare has often been criticized for being a virulent anti-Semite; I will argue that there's a good case to be made that he viewed Jews as the same flawed human beings as everyone else on this planet. With the world as we know it collapsing, it's very compelling to go back to some of the seminal texts on issues that still move us today. We will look at "The Merchant of Venice."
Dr. Pamela Peled was born in South Africa. She left home at the age of seventeen to study English Literature at the Hebrew University.
