On March 25, 2026, Dr. Ruth Wisse delivered the 52nd Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities inside the Terrace Theater at the Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. In her lecture, "A Message from the 'Blue and White' in the 'Red, White, and Blue,'" she discussed the deep connections between Jewish culture and ideas and the founding and growth of the United States and speak to the lessons that 2,500 years of Jewish experience hold for the next millennium of American progress.
"Steeped in gratitude, Wisse’s talk is a love letter to her adoptive country, but also a warning to her fellow citizens, issued by someone “increasingly protective of what can only remain the land of the free if we are determined to conserve it.” —The Editors, The Free Press
