In Conversation with Rabbi Josh Weinberg about Israel
Wednesday, December 16 from 8:00 – 9:00 p.m. on Zoom 
Our Director of Education, Ira Wise has invited Rabbi Josh Weinberg for a conversation about Israel. Many of us wrestle with both a love for Israel and serious concerns about events and actions there. Some of us choose avoidance. Others become defensive. And some of us articulate some very strong feelings. Our conversation with Rabbi Weinberg will seek to help us all address concerns AND find a way to embrace the land, the people and our personal connection.
