SUMMARY:Connections Cocktail hour with Professor Donna Robinson Divine
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special Connections Cocktail Hour\, where community member Professor Donna Robinson Divine will present on the topic\, “The Jewish State: Promises Fulfilled and Promises Broken.” \nWhen Israel declared its independence in May 1948\, it generated two narratives: one of a Jewish prophetic message of righteousness\, and another connecting Israel’s founding to colonialism and to the devastations of imperial conquest and exploitation. Professor Divine will bring to light the story of Israel’s establishment and development\, offering an accounting of Israel’s achievements and failures\, with a particular focus on its regional confrontations and on its still-to-be resolved conflicts with Palestinians. \nRegister to Join Us on Zoom\nDonna Robinson Divine is the Morningstar Family Professor of Jewish Studies and Professor of Government at Smith College. She is the author of the book Exiled in the Homeland\, a study of the experience of Jewish immigration to Palestine during the early years of the British Mandate.

SUMMARY:Israeli Politics Discussion Group with Dr. Avi Shilon
DESCRIPTION:BJ members are invited to participate in a discussion group focused on Israeli politics. Together\, we’ll explore how Israeli politics work\, what the checks and balances are\, who pulls the strings\, and what the costs are. \nIn May 1977\, Israelis said enough to a twenty-nine year period of Labor rule and gave a chance to the opposition leader Menachem Begin and the Likkud Party. What is known as the “Upheaval” brought new voices to Israel political sphere and changed the face of Israel. Guest speaker Dr. Avi Shilon will join us for a discussion concerning the political atmosphere that enabled this change\, and about Menachem Begin\, the most “Jewish” prime minister Israel has ever had. \nRegister to Join Us in Person\nRegister to Join Virtually\nDr. Avi Shilon is a historian. His PhD dissertation focuses on The Revisionist Movement Leaders’ Attitudes Toward Jewish religion 1925-2005. Shilon is the author of Menachem Begin’s biography – Menachem Begin: A Life\, which was published by Yale University press in 2012. His second book\, Ben Gurion: His Later Years in the Political Wilderness had been published in 2016 and his new book\, The Decline of the Left-wing in Israel: Yossi Beilin and the Politics of the Peace Process was published recently. Shilon is currently a visiting scholar at NYU. He also writes op-ed columns for Haaretz.

SUMMARY:Israeli Authors Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Can women truly choose to remain child-free\, acting against traditional Israeli social expectations? That is the central question in our December book pick\, Sarah Blau’s propulsive psychological thriller\, The Others\, named for the Torah’s designation for childless women. When one of the country’s preeminent feminist scholars is murdered\, her former friend Sheila could be the next victim… or the primary suspect.   \nRegister Now\nIn January\, we’ll be reading The Slaughterman’s Daughter by Yavniv Iczkovitz\, which bills itself as “an epic historical novel where ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ meets Tarantino.” More to come on this hefty novel (432 pages) that you may want to dig into early! \n
