Through video lectures, text study, and lively group discussion, we are pleased to bring the world-renowned  faculty of the Shalom Hartman Institute into the Torat El community this fall.

Through the study of Jewish narratives about Israel and the unpacking of the complex meanings of peace in Jewis tradition, we will explore the ideas and values that animate different attitudes toward the conflict and how these values shape our own political understandings of the situation. Though our political opinions and suggestions concerning how to handle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict may not always be in agreement, this course strives to achieve a shared  respect for our differences.

 Each session includes text study and discussion led by  Rabbi Schonbrun a video lecture by Rabbi Dr. Donniel Hartman, and a video dialogue between Rabbi Hartman and other top scholars and experts. Join us for this wonderful opportunity to learn from great scholars, from our own Rabbi Schonbrun, and from one another as we engage in thinking about the Jewish values that underlie one of the most politically sensitive and difficult issues facing the Jewish people and the international community. $20 per person/couple for study guide. In order for us to have enough study guides, please register with the office for this class by January 4th.
