Zionism, Israel, and the Conflict: A 5-Session Mini-Course with Rabbi Blake and Cantor Kleinman
Since the brutal attacks on Israel by Hamas on October 7th, our community has been standing in solidarity with the Jewish State.
At this critical time, many in our community have expressed a desire to learn more about the roots of Zionism and the history behind the present conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Many congregants joined Rabbi Blake for a deep dive into the foundations of Zionism and a historical overview of the Conflict. This class was aimed at an adult audience; high school and college-age students were most welcome to join.
