Israel

The Israel Committee is focusing on educating members about Israel and Jewish communities throughout the world as well as supporting Israel. We do this in a number of different ways: 

Israel Trip 
Soon we will be taking our first trip with Rabbi Katz to Israel. This trip will cover the “bucket list” items of an Israel trip. These include Massada, the Dead Sea, the Western Wall, Yad Vashem, and more.

Speakers Series 
Multiple times per year our community gathers for learning sessions around a host of Israel related topics. Usually happening on Sunday mornings at 11:15am, these talks have included debriefs after Israeli’s elections by  authorities on Israeli politics (including our own Jodi Rudoren), discussions of religious pluralism with Rabbi Josh Weinberg, president of ARZA, and a briefing on the wider politics of the Middle East with Will Wagner, from the UN. Visit out calendar for more information about upcoming Israel speakers.

Israel Fiction Book Group 
Join us as we launch our bi-monthly Israeli Fiction reading group. Learn about Israeli culture and politics from the source: through the writings of some of Israel's most famous contemporary authors. The next book that will be read and discussed in the TNT Israel Fiction Reading Group is “Waking Lions” by Ayelet Gundar Goshen. Previous books include Three Floors Up by Eshkol Nevo.
