Upcoming Event:
In Focus: Israel/Gaza with Rabbi Emeritus Ed Feinstein
Yom Ha'atzmaut, Tuesday, May 14, 7 pm, in person only
Join us for the culmination of our In Focus: Israel/Gaza discussion series on Israeli Independence Day. As we observe Israel’s 76th birthday, we have an opportunity to study the ideas and ideals that led to the founding of the Jewish state. What does Zionism mean? What are historic and modern views of Zionisms that guide us? How do we understand Israel in our complicated world?
Rabbi Ed Feinstein is a faculty member at the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America, senior rabbi of Valley Beth Shalom in Encino, California, and lecturer at the Ziegler Rabbinical School of the American Jewish University. Registration required.
