Become a mini-Middle East expert in just 20 weeks, as we study the roots of the conflict between Jews and Arabs over the modern State of Israel. Analyzing newspaper articles, speeches, poems, photographs, and maps, we will re-trace history on a path from 1948-today, examining each war and attempt at peace. The material is designed to encourage discussion and debate about religion, culture, politics, economics, identity, and survival, challenging learners to appreciate the basis of the claims made by all sides. Together, we’ll leap into these complex topics, probing why a lasting peace between Israel and the Arab world has been so elusive and what developments might be next.

This class meets in person and hybrid on Zoom. Attendance is limited to 25 with preference given to in person attendees. In Person Classes will be held at Congreation B'nai Israel.

Through a generous grant, this course is discounted from $545 to $50. Please enter discount code ISRAEL50 in all-caps at the checkout page.

The classes will be conducted in English, with no prior experience with the Talmud or knowledge of Hebrew or Aramaic necessary. Class resources will be provided.
