Wednesday, August 12, 7:30 pm Adult Ed with Rabbi Judith Kummer - Zionism: Source of Jewish Vilification or Jewish Pride?
What do you know about Zionism? Does it conflict with what you hear in the news? Is Zionism a point of Jewish pride for you or for others you know, or is a connection with Zionism something that makes you cringe? The term Zionism has been used — or mis-used — of late as a rallying cry with what some might say are anti-Jewish overtones. Please join us for an opportunity to explore what Zionism actually is and what it isn’t, along with looking at a brief history of Zionism and prospects for the future. Click here for Adult Ed Flyer
