  • Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: Reckoning with Peter’s Beinart’s 2025 Book

    Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: Reckoning with Peter Beinart’s 2025 Book (3 part series: February 11, 18, 25)

    Beinart’s book presents the October 7 attacks and the ensuing war as a profound turning point in modern Jewish history. In this three‑session course, Beth Emet members Hannah Graham and Danny London will use Beinart’s text as a springboard for exploring how traditional narratives have shaped Jewish identity and how contemporary Jewish perspectives—particularly views on Israel—are shifting in response to the events of the war. Together, we will examine the tensions, questions, and emerging frameworks that are redefining Jewish self‑understanding in this moment of upheaval.
