I am not teaching in this course but I am involved in organizing and designing this course as a leader of the Washington Coalition of Rabbis. I will be the chat moderator for this course.
If you want to learn more and clarify history, go deep and wide on the development of Israel and Zionism in 6 sessions...taught by some of the brightest rabbinic minds in Washington?
This is the course for you.
If not now, when?
Seriously. If not NOW? When?
This course is taught through the diverse perspectives of scholars. While each rabbi has their worldview and experiences, these 6 rabbis will share their deep knowledge of the development of Israel and Zionism over time. Each has a unique and valuable voice. No one class or teacher will give you the whole picture or the entire history. Learning Israel and Zionism is a process not a class. It is the integration of multiple narratives and co-occurring histories. It is work. It involves wresting and grappling with world history, Jewish thought, Jewish theology, Jewish dreams, and grappling with maps, and politics and how the nations of the world have engaged with us.
Are you interested in putting in the work to better understand the history of the Jewish people? There is no short video, meme, talking head, or article that can give you what the Washington Coalition of Rabbis is offering. As a Coalition of Rabbis, we embrace multiple perspectives and paths within Judaism and the diversity of the Jewish people and Jewish thought. Most of us are not just scholars and thinkers but leaders and pastors. We live with and among the Jewish people. We are not in an ivory tower but rather interacting every day with Jews and non-Jews alike, doing the hard work of accompanying people through these difficult times.
This is a unique opportunity to learn. Please register today!
Thank you!
Rabbi Yohanna Kinberg
