Gratz College

Subject:

Description:

Within the Jewish community, there is much controversy surrounding the country of Israel today. Much of this doubt stems from a lack of knowledge and understanding of the place of Israel within Jewish tradition and contemporary Jewish life. By examining a sweep of history from primary religious texts through contemporary news and opinion articles, this course aims to offer a basis of knowledge, challenging participants to examine their own attitude with regard to the relationship between the Jewish People and Israel, and how that will come to the fore in their classrooms.
