Instructor: Shimmy Cohen

In person or online (hybrid)

Led by an Israeli, we will discuss a variety of everyday aspects of life in Israel, from the perspective of different views and beliefs. Topics will include Israel’s current war, Israel’s internal politics, Israel’s religious strife, Israel’s economy, Is Israel under existential threat?, Israel among the nations, Israel accomplishments, plus whatever you wanted to know about Israel and never asked. The seminar will be conducted in an open conversation format rather than a lecture only. We will welcome opposing points of view as well as suggestions for other subject to discuss in class (please submit in advance).
