Temple Beth-El of Great Neck will present an Israel discussion group regarding the West Bank, followed by an Israeli brunch in celebration of Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israeli Independence Day, on Sunday, May 4, at 10 a.m.
The program of the Miriam & Moses Center for Pluralistic Adult Jewish Learning will be led in person by Temple Beth-El’s Rabbi Emeritus Meir Feldman and facilitated by Rabbi A. Brian Stoller.
All are welcome to attend this complimentary event, which will delve into Zionism, Israel and sacred conversations.
“This session will explore the polarizing issues within Israel and between Israelis and North American Jews,” said Rabbi Meir, who made aliyah and will be visiting from Israel.
The rabbi emeritus will share his on-the-ground perspective, discuss current events and examine the importance of Zionism, including what it means and what it means to you.
This program is sponsored by Temple Beth-El’s Israel Committee, which is dedicated to supporting the Jewish state by fostering a deep and enduring commitment to Zionism, striving to strengthen connections with Israel through education, advocacy and engagement by providing resources and opportunities to explore the country’s rich culture, history and current events.
Anyone interested in learning about the committee is welcome to remain after the session to find out more.
