What are We Talking About When We Talk About Zionism.

Taught by Rabbi Jonathan Singer

Guest for May 19: Tyler Gregory, Executive Director of JCRC

Join Rabbi Jonathan for a six-part lunch and learn with guests from different perspectives sharing about the beautiful complexity of Zionism, both from historic and contemporary perspectives. Zionism is both celebrated by some as being the miraculous expression of Jewish nationalism and questioned by others as an ideology that has become disconnected from Jewish values. As is our approach at Emanu-El, we want to bring in many voices and so will include Orli Bein from the New Israel Fund, Rabbi Josh Weinberg leader of ARZA- the Reform Movement’s Zionist Wing, a board member from IF NOT NOW, a speaker on Orthodox Zionism, and our own John Rothmann- who brings a wealth of historical knowledge and capacity for political analysis.  

We will use Gil Troy’s updated version of Arthur Hertzbergs’ “The Zionist Idea” as our text.

Wednesdays from 12:00 – 1:00 pm. Bring your lunch and an open mind.

April 7, 14, 21, 28; May 12, 19

We are offering a weekday evening minyan during the week for our community to say kaddish together. Join our sacred ‘zoom room’ to be with each other and create space for memory. Click here.

Join Ambassador Dennis Ross as he talks with our Israel Action Committee leadership and gives his perspective on the Israel-Gaza conflict.

Ambassador Ross is a former Middle East peace negotiator and government official and a distinguished scholar. He has the unusual distinction of being a political appointee for two Republican and two Democratic presidents – Reagan and Bush 41 as well as Clinton and Obama. He also developed close relationships with five Israeli prime ministers: Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres, Ehud Barak, Ariel Sharon and Benjamin Netanyahu. He was the special advisor to former Secretary of State Clinton. Few people know the history of Israel or its efforts on peace or its relations with the Arabs and the region better.

Please register to receive the Zoom information for this event. Our capacity is 275 attendees.
