ENGAGING ISRAEL: FOUNDATIONS FOR A NEW RELATIONSHIP A Shalom Hartman Institute Video Lecture Series Led by Rabbi Joshua Levine-Grater
Shanghai Ghetto
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 PJTC community.
We offer an opportunity for you to view interesting and thought-provoking Jewish-themed documentary films and to share views and ideas with others. Shanghai's little-known Jewish ghetto was settled in the 1930s by Jews who fled Nazi Germany. The filmmakers head to Shanghai with two ex-residents who relate tales of life in the squalid enclave. Through interviews, letters, archival and modern-day footage and family photos, the saga chronicles the survivors' escape, relocation, life in Shanghai and ultimate exodus to the United States. Please join us for the film and the interesting discussion following it. Contact Jerry Halpert at ghalpert@flash.net.
What are the benefits of Jewish sovereignty? How should a Jewish state exercise military power ethically? How do we create and maintain a Jewish democracy? Why should American Jews care about Israel? What values should a Jewish state embody? What can Israel offer the world?
Explore the Jewish values and ideas at the foundation of our relationship with Israel. Each session includes text study and discussion led by Rabbi Grater, 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 Grater, and from one another as we engage in thinking about the meaning that Israel can have in our lives and what our role might be in envisioning and building the future of the Jewish State. You do not need to attend all sessions to benefit from this series.
