IZAIA Educational Program
“Today’s Israel”
In the current international political climate, as American Jews the challenge for all of us is to engage in the complicated process of thinking through how Israel might be meaningful to each us. There is no single answer that will appeal to each of us. Please join us and let’s explore the various possible relationships with Israel. You are invited to consider the history of the relationship, learn and understand what Israel is and how she got there. Think about the various views, challenge your thoughts and learn how to talk about Israel.
