Israel 101 Part 2

Apr 1, 2024 2:30:00 PM

Israel 101 Part 2

Interested in learning more about the Jewish homeland? Want to have intelligent conversations about Israel with family and friends?  This engaging two-part series will provide you with an overview of the history of Israel that will help you understand the modern-day Israel/Palestinian conflict. Diving deep into Jewish history, David Harris will cover The British Mandate, Israel's wars and territorial changes, the Right of Return, and how these events converged to spark today's war against Hamas. 

David Harris Bio
David Harris served as CEO of the American Jewish Committee (AJC) from 1990 to 2022. The organization was described by The New York Times as "the dean of American Jewish organizations," and by French President Nicolas Sarkozy as "the most effective, influential, and respected American Jewish organization." Harris was referred to by the late Israeli President and Nobel Laureate Shimon Peres as "the foreign minister of the Jewish people." He is the most decorated Jewish organizational leader in U.S. history and is the recipient of four honorary doctorates, including the most recent one in 2022 from Brandeis University.
Throughout the past five decades, Harris played a pivotal role in shaping critical global issues - from the rescue of Ethiopian Jewry and Soviet Jewry (including two detentions by Soviet authorities) to helping expand Israel's diplomatic footprint throughout the world. Harris has been committed to advancing interfaith and interethnic relations, combatting antisemitism, strengthening Jewish identity, and defending democratic values. 
Harris, the son of Holocaust survivors, has written and spoken extensively, is a Trustee of Brandeis University, a vice chair of the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP), and a senior strategic adviser to the London-based Henry Jackson Society. He is married to Giulietta Boukhobza, who was forced to flee her native Libya in 1967. They are parents and grandparents, and are members of the Moise Safra Center.

Book Club: We Must Not Think of Ourselves

May 7, 2024 11:30:00 AM

"Inspired by a little-known piece of history—the underground group that kept an archive to ensure that the lives of Jewish occupants of the Warsaw Ghetto in World War II were not lost to history—this is a heart-wrenching novel of love and defiance that People calls ""gripping, emotional, and against all odds, hopeful."" New York Times bestselling author Lauren Grodstein draws readers into the lives of people living on the edge inspired by the testimony-gathering project with the code name Oneg Shabbat, . Told with immediacy and heart, We Must Not Think of Ourselves is a piercing story of love, determination, and sacrifice for the many fans of literary World War II fiction such as Kristin Harmel’s The Book of Lost Names and Lauren Fox’s Send for Me. Join us for lunch as we share our thoughts and reflections on We Must Not Think of Ourselves and enjoy a virtual Q&A with author, Lauren Grodstein."
