Presented by Rabbi Zachary Goodman:

Based on material from the Shalom Hartman Institute, this 8-part series is for those wanting to learn more about the history of Israel through such pivotal events as the Balfour Declaration (1917), the UN Partition Plan (1947), and the Six-Day War (1967), while also contextualizing these milestones in the wake of October 7, 2023. Each session features a lecture and roundtable discussion, with optional background readings and primary sources for deeper exploration. No prior experience required.

Session #8 Overview:

Fifty years after the Six Day War, how do we assess Israel’s journey? We’ll reflect on key milestones in Israeli history, evaluating what they’ve meant for Jewish identity, statehood, and Diaspora-Israel relations—and imagine what the next 50 years might hold.
