2022 Melton Israel Current Events

 Israeli Current Events
Taught by Rabbi Adam Schaffer

Course description
This course is designed to help students engage in dialogue about current events in Israel. Some conversations will be about Israel specific matters and some conversations will be about how the current events of the world are impacting Israel.

As our source material for this course, we will use the Daily Alert, which is a project of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. It does not have a political agenda but rather seeks to provide the reader multiple perspectives on currently relevant issues.

Please register for this course with an open heart and mind, remembering the Jewish value of “d’var acher” of valuing perspectives that are different than our own. Our goal is to name important issues and to provide historical background to help better contextualize the current news in Israel. We hope that by the end of this course, you will have a more nuanced perspective about current events in Israel.

 
Tuesdays 9:30 - 11:00 a.m.
