SUMMARY:Where Are You in Relation to Israel?
DESCRIPTION:In a short\, compelling book entitled Jews and Words\, Amos Oz and his daughter Fania Oz-Salzberger\, wrote that the Jewish people are not related by bloodlines\, but rather by text-lines. Over seven sessions\, we will study some of the texts that connect the people of Israel to the land of Israel and the State of Israel. I hope that everyone who chooses to participate in this course of study will grow their personal relationships with the other people in the cohort and with Israel. Our goal will be to deepen and thicken our relationships to Israel\, and to increase Ahavat Yisrael – “love of Israel\,” – including both the people and the place. Please join us for any\, and hopefully\, every session! Register: t-b-s.me/relations \nDuring our series\, our topic titles will include: \n\nIsrael in Perspective: Zionism as a Response to Modernity\nIsrael in Perspective: The Zionist Idea\nOne State\, Many Midwives\nA State of Ideals is not the Same as an Ideal State\nBe Careful What You Pray For\nNot All Wars Are the Same\nThe Story of Hatikvah\n\nAll sessions will be recorded. Rabbi Elyse Pincus Abrahams will be joining Rabbi Katzew throughout the series to bring additional wisdom and insight. \nOur Teacher: Rabbi Jan Katzew \nRabbi Katzew\, PhD is Associate Professor Emeritus of Jewish Thought and Education and Senior Educator of the EMA Program at HUC-JIR. After serving for six years as rabbi/educator at The Community Synagogue in Port Washington\, NY\, Jan became a Jerusalem Fellow and earned a doctorate at the Hebrew University in Jewish Thought and Education. For fifteen years Jan led a team of educators at the Union for Reform Judaism that was responsible for designing\, developing\, and implementing curricular resources for early childhood centers\, congregational schools\, day schools and adult learning communities throughout the world. Since its inception in 2008\, Jan has been a senior consultant to the iCenter for Israel Education\, mentoring students from multiple graduate schools and seminaries to become Israel educators\, a task made even more important after October 7\, 2023. Jan is the author of popular and scholarly articles in multiple fields that include Interfaith dialogue\, Mussar\, Medieval Hebrew Poetry\, Israel Education\, Moral Development\, and educational philosophy and practice.
