As part of our ongoing exploration of how we as American Jews relate to Israel, we seek to learn from those who have first hand experience, as we choose our own thoughtful steps in the midst of the passion that the subject inspires.

Join us on erev Shabbat , 5:45 pm January 23 at Shir Tikvah to learn from Ben Murane, the New Israel Fund North West Director of Outreach. Ben will share stories of the good work being done by the good organizations which constitute half of Israel’s citizenship - stories that don’t make the news.

Shir Tikvah has committed to presenting different opportunities to learn about Israel in an atmosphere of makhloket, “sacred arguing”, in which we take care not only with our facts, but are also careful to share them respectfully and to listen mindfully.
