Join our rabbis for this important 6-part series on the Israel-Palestinian Conflict. Using curriculum from the Shalom Hartman Institute, we will explore the conflict through the lens of Jewish values, unpacking our own perspectives while fostering respect for our differences.
Course fee: $36. A minimum of 10 participants is needed to run the course.
This class explores one of the most divisive issues affecting the Jewish people today: the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. Through the study of Jewish narratives about Israel and the unpacking of the complex meanings of peace in Jewish tradition, participants are invited to explore the ideas and values that animate different attitudes toward the conflict and how these values shape their own political understandings. Though a shared political platform may not be attainable, this course strives to achieve a shared respect for our differences. Together we will engage in a new values-based discourse about Israel, including topics such as: Living with Difference, the Israel We Imagine, Jewish Narratives of Peace, Attitudes Towards the Land, Justice, Self-Preservation, Compromise and the Idea of Jewish Exceptionalism.
$36 per person.
