Our Relationship with Israel: Questioning, Reflecting, Choosing with Shelley Sechooler 
What place should Israel have in our Jewish lives today? For many Jews, our relationship with Israel holds love, pride, disappointment, frustration, uncertainty, and even alienation all at once.
This introductory session offers a taste of a
nine-session course that explores how we might develop a deeper, more mature Jewish framework for understanding Israel and its place in our Jewish identities, which Rabbi Diamond will teach beginning in October.
