Why did Eastern European Jewry come to embrace Zionism in the late 1800s? Was it inevitable that the revival of a Jewish national community in Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel) would entail confrontation with the existing Palestinian Arab community and repeated wars with its Arab neighbors? How did a movement among a minority of Jews become the normative outlook for most Jews in the late 1900s? Why haven’t efforts to resolve the conflict since the 1979 Israeli-Egyptian Peace Treaty succeeded? We will address these and other questions without presuming to offer definitive answers. All points of view are welcome and will be respected. Each session involves a brief presentation and discussion of 50 pages of required reading per week. Maximum: 20 students. Taught by Prof. Joel Beinin.
Registration will open at noon on Jan. 15. The classes are intended only for Havurah members, on a first-come-first-served basis. To accommodate the significant number of people who have expressed an interest in the class, Prof. Beinin has generously offered to teach two sessions, one that begins at 4:30 pm and another that begins at 7:00 pm.
Sorry, Registration has ended.

And most importantly it is about hope. It is about learning about these solutions to climate change and changing the hearts and minds of those around us, so that we can all work together.
