SUMMARY:Where is Israel Headed?
DESCRIPTION:Israel’s national election may be the most important election in its history. Where is Israel headed? What are Israelis’ key current concerns and hopes for the future? What will this mean for the relationship between Israeli Jews and American Reform and Conservative Jews? Zach Selch and Joel Hodes will provide their analysis as they are interviewed by Mark Schoenfield. \nZach Selch is the Chair of the Israel Committee. Zach Selch grew up in Beer Sheva and served as a paratrooper during the First Intifada and the First Lebanon War. He later worked with the Prime Minister’s Office as an economic advisor to the Palestinian Authority during the Oslo Accords. Zach then spent over ten years working in Israeli high tech. \nJoel Hodes made Aliyah to Israel 10 years ago. He and his wife split their time between Tel Aviv and Chicago\, spending a half year in each location. Joel is an active protester\, often attending the weekly rallies held in Hostage Square and Kaplan St. in Tel Aviv. Since the war\, Joel volunteers regularly to harvest agriculture on the abandoned kibbutzim near the Gaza border. \nMembers need to register using the Calendar and Member Portal\, including their guests. \nNon-members cannot register themselves and must be registered by a member. \nMember registration \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Russian Migrants and the Illegal Border Crossings of the Late 19th Century
DESCRIPTION:In the late 19th century\, hundreds of thousands of Jews fled the Russian Empire\, many crossing borders illegally in search of safety and a new life. Professor Anastasiia Strakhova from University of Illinois brings her scholarly expertise to this fascinating and deeply resonant chapter of Jewish history\, exploring who these migrants were\, what drove them to leave\, and how they navigated a world that was often hostile to their passage. The echoes of their story in our own moment are impossible to ignore. \nMember registration \nGuest registration

SUMMARY:Leipzig Revisited: Rabbi Black's Journey Back
DESCRIPTION:Rabbi Joe Black and his extended family recently returned from visiting Leipzig\, Germany\, the city in which his mother—our past president\, Sophie Black—was born and from which she fled in 1938 after experiencing Krystalnacht\, the “Night of The Broken Glass.” Their trip was at the invitation of the city and was part of a program designed to welcome back the descendants of former Jewish “Leipzigers” who survived the Shoah (Holocaust). Rabbi Black will share his reflections\, including some music he has written\, about this powerful and emotional journey.
