Israel’s Occupation, Jewish Tradition, and Collective Responsibility - This is a past event.
Facilitated by Rabbi Benjamin and Joel Beinin
Wednesday, Aug. 11 and Sunday, Aug. 22 (7:00-8:30 pm). Attendees are asked to commit to both sessions.
During this season of ḥeshbon hanefesh—honest self-examination—leading up to the Days of Awe, we will spend these sessions examining aspects of Israel’s occupation of the Palestinians and reflect on what our learning asks of us as Jews. Rabbi Benjamin will present Jewish texts as a framework for us to grapple with issues such as Jewish power and our relationship to the other, and Joel will guide us in engaging with contemporary analysis from various organizations. There will be some reading in preparation for each session.
