The Zionist Idea
October 27, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm EDT
**What is the importance of building an ideal society based on an idea, a
north-star organizing principle? Can we see Zionism as a project of the Jewish
people’s collective imagination?**
In her four-part series, _Why Israel? Revisiting the Meaning of Zionism_ ,
**Lauren Berkun** explores why Israel should matter to a 21st century North
American Jew. What are some of the most meaningful spiritual and moral visions
for Israel today? How can we engage in a nuanced, pluralistic conversation
about them? Each class consists of a weekly lecture, text study, and breakout
discussion groups.
Other sessions in this series:
* **Relational Zionism** : November 3
* **Zionism and Power** : November 10
* **Zionism and Overcoming History** : November 17
_This series is part of _[ ** _Ideas for
Today_**](https://www.hartman.org.il/program/ideas-for-today/), _curated
courses by Hartman Institute scholars on the big Jewish ideas of this moment._
