Tribes of Israel: A Shared Homeland for a Divided People
The Tribes of Israel
is a video lecture series and discussion, created by the shalom Hartman Institute. This course confronts the challenge of creating a Jewish and democratic public space in the modern State of Israel-a shared common space for a people divided along "tribal" affiliations: religious, ideological, national, and geographic.
5780 is going to be an exciting year for Lifelong Learning at Shir Ami! We are expanding in new and different directions, cognizant of the fact that there are many pathways to deepen our connections to Jewish wisdom individually and collectively. Whether you take one, two or all these pathways, we wish you an amazing adventure and look forward to learning both with you from you along the way!
