Moments of Adaptation in Jewish History 
Taught by Valerie Thaler, Ph.D.

Jewish life has taken quite a turn since our brick-and-mortar institutions shut their doors in March.

Take a tour through Jewish history to find out how our community has sustained itself through some of the most arduous challenges.
For the Love of Zion: From the Torah to Today
Lunch and Learn
First and Third Thursdays each month, Led by Rachel V. Glaser.
1st and 3rd Thursday of the month beginning October 15 at 12pm-1pm
In this course, we will look at how the Jewish people's attachment to the Land of Israel (Zionism) developed from Biblical to modern times, from a promise to a political movement. We will use text, commentaries, historical documents and interpretations to explore how Zionism began and where it is today.
