- 12 part one on Israel to understand the politics, culture and conflict with nuance

Rabbi Val will guide the class in a thorough examination of the history and politics of modern Israel from 1890 to 1955. We will explore the historical forces which brought about the return of Jews to Ottoman and British Mandate Palestine. We will consider the triumphs, the tragedies, the clashing visions of founders and friction with the Arab population.
Many controversial topics divide the Jewish community and fuel anti-Israel sentiment worldwide. Many of them have roots in this early period. We will investigate several of them.
Part 2 will follow in the spring to bring us to the present.
