“Watching Sports Through a Jewish Lens” – Mitch Nelles
Mitch Nelles, on-air host with iHeartMedia, often grapples with the hypocrisy of today’s sports landscape. The me-first attitude of many athletes, coupled with the team-first premise that leads to victory, is forefront in almost every sports narrative these days.
Taken from a culturally Jewish perspective, Mitch looks at a few current examples, mixed with stories from Wisconsin athletes, and speaks about sports in general as well. Mitch is currently heard as part of The Crossover – on the iHeartRadio App – and hosts his own podcast, called “It’s ALL Thunder!”, also on the iHeartRadio App
Lunch: Vegetarian Minestrone, Artisan Rolls and Butter, Grilled Whitefish with Lemon Caper Picatta,
Toasted Orzo and Roasted Vegetables, or Portabella Mushroom Fettuccine (with Peppers, Onions and Tomatoes, Topped with Roasted Red Pepper). Dessert: Turtle Sundae

Charles Cohen
Professor Emeritus, Department of History, E. Gordon Fox Professor of American Institutions Founding Director for the Lubar Institute for the Study of Abrahamic Religions – UW Madison
“Jews and Muslims in Christian America”
The United States has been defined in various ways as a “Christian nation”; if so, how do Jews and Muslims—whose understandings of such things as sacred space, sacred time, food, and the religious meaning of the state, can be quite different from those of Christians—fit into American society?
Professor Emeritus, Charles Cohen will discuss this in his talk entitled, Jews and Muslims in Christian America. Professor Cohen is the E. Gordon Fox Professor of American Institutions. He teaches at UW Madison in the Departments of History and Religious Studies. Professor Cohen was Founding Director the Lubar Institute for the Study of the Abrahamic Religions, whose mission is to create better understandings of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam by encouraging ongoing discussion of these traditions and their interrelationships.. His book, “Abrahamic Religions: A Very Short Introduction,” will be published in late 2019 by Oxford University press.
Lunch: Nakoma Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette, Artisan Rolls and Butter, Grilled Salmon with Mango Pineapple Salsa, Wild Rice and Asparagus or Vegetable Napoleon. Dessert: Chocolate Mousse Sundae with Fresh Berries
