Democracy, Israel, and Zionism

Taught by: Rabbi Holzman
Tuesdays, October 24, November 28, December 19, January 9, March 19, April 16
6:30-8:00pm, in person, online by request

Zionism is the idea that Jews must have a state in our
ancestral homeland. That simple statement has been
controversial since its inception. For many of us, liberal
democracy reflects core tenets of our Judaism, meaning
that the Jewish state must be a democratic state, and
the recent street protests in Israel over the proposed
judicial overhaul reflect the difficulty of applying all
these ideas. Over the past seven years, NVHC has been
experimenting at the intersection of Judaism and
democracy and this year we will turn our focus to how
this intersection affects our Zionism and support for the
State of Israel. This class requires no prior knowledge
and will be conducted in person with a hybrid option.
