SUMMARY:Israel - The Generational Divide: A Course for Parents Struggling to Understand Their Children's Perspectives on Israel
DESCRIPTION:Register: t-b-s.me/generationaldivide \nThe crisis in Israel has caused divides within and beyond the Jewish community. We have heard so many stories of families at odds with each other over Israel\, family members who are unable or unwilling to communicate with each other. This course is specifically for parents who are wrestling with their college-age children’s views on Israel. We are hoping to bring parents together to learn and think together about Israel and about family. The course will be a mix of various types of learning. We will be looking at different perspectives on Israel\, including that part of the Jewish community which questions Israel\, not with the eye to tear down but to try to critically understand this worldview. While primarily designed for parents\, other adults with college-age or older high school students in their lives (e.g.\, grandparents and other caregivers) are also welcome to participate. \nCo-Sponsored by Hebrew College and Temple Beth Shalom\, Needham \nCost: Free to Temple Beth Shalom Members \nLocation: In-person at Temple Beth Shalom \nFor more information\, view the flyer or contact adultlearning@hebrewcollege.edu
