Faith In Brooklyn for Feb. 15
Collaborative Lecture Series Presents ‘Images of Israel
How do different visions and aspirations for Israel inform the way one views the current situation there? This question will be explored in a three-part collaborative lecture series titled “Images of Israel,” with three outstanding Israeli public intellectuals speaking in Brownstone Brooklyn.
The series opens on Feb. 17, with Israeli academic and politician Dr. Ruth Calderon speaking at Congregation Beth Elohim. Dr. Calderon, who holds a Ph.D. in Talmud from Hebrew University, established ALMA, the first “secular Beit Midrash,” in order to acquaint secular Israelis with the richness of classical Jewish texts and culture.
