Please join us for an education course about Israel, “The Long Journey Home: A History of Zionism, the Shoah and Birth of the State of Israel” with Danny Stein

How did Israel’s political system develop, and how does this year’s election fit into that story? The course explores the origins and evolution of Israel’s government, electoral system, political parties, Declaration of Independence, constitutional debates, and prime ministers from Ben-Gurion to the present. Through a historical lens, we will examine the forces that have shaped Israeli politics while maintaining a strictly nonpartisan, objective, and balanced approach. The goal is not advocate for any political, but to better understand the ideas, institutions, and historical developments that continue to influence Israel today.

Most Sundays, October 11, 2026 to May 23, 2027
10:30 AM on Zoom
Cost: $180 (no one will be turned away due to costs)
