Zionism and Power
November 10, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm EST
**Zionism offers the Jewish people the gift of power. How can we embrace
Israel as the fulfillment of human purpose, according to the Jewish story,
while recognizing the human propensity for failure in the ethical use of
power? **
In this 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:
* **The Zionist Idea** : October 27
* **Relational Zionism** : November 3
* **Zionism and Overcoming History** : November 17
_This series is part of _[ ** _Ideas for
Today_**](https://www.hartman.org.il/program/ideas-for-today/), _curated
