Conversations About Israel at Emanuel Synagogue
Description
Join us on Monday mornings at Emanuel Synagogue or online through emanuelplus for a thoughtful exploration of the land and people of Israel. These sessions address questions about society, culture, identity, history, and current issues affecting Jewish life in Israel and the global Jewish community today. Through open dialogue and shared learning, we create space for reflection, different viewpoints, and meaningful connections.
For those attending in person, the session includes a light lunch and further discussion in a relaxed atmosphere. Throughout the year, we expect to welcome several special guest speakers. Details about their visits and presentations will be shared as the dates approach.
This series is hosted by Rabbi Rafi Kaiserblueth.
Tickets are pay-what-you-can to ensure that this program is accessible to all members of our rich and diverse community. If you are able, please give generously to help us accommodate people who might otherwise be unable to attend.
