SUMMARY:Tovanot: Rejecting the Binary\, Embracing Dual Narratives
DESCRIPTION:A Nuanced Understanding of Israel/Palestine; led by guest Israel educator Ruti Kadish\nSince October 7th\, 2023\, so many people have had conversations they don’t necessarily feel equipped to handle or are hesitant to engage\, at a loss for words\, or confused about what to believe. Others find themselves at painful odds with friends and family and feel forced to choose a side. \nIn this series — Tovanot: Rejecting the Binary\, Embracing Dual Narratives — we will take a deep dive into the most complex questions related to Israel/Palestine. Using a dual-narrative approach to understanding the historical and political landscape in Israel\, Tovanot rejects binary thinking and encourages a rigorous and sober exploration of Zionist history and our connection to the Jewish homeland alongside concern and empathy for Palestinian lives and narratives and their connection to their homeland. Taking inspiration from long-standing shared society and coexistence initiatives in Israel and Palestine\, we will practice having courageous conversations and gain tools to hold nuance and multiple narratives of Israeli Jews\, Palestinian citizens of Israel\, and Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. \nRegister ($36) \nRuti Kadish was born in Israel\, where she spent most of her childhood. After completing her military service\, Ruti left Israel to study in the United States. She received a BA in Women’s Studies and a PhD in Near Eastern Studies from UC Berkeley. Before a postdoc in Israel Studies at the University of Maryland\, College Park\, Ruti was a Fellow at the Mandel School for Educational Leadership in Jerusalem\, where she designed progressive Israel curricula for informal Jewish education. Through the early aughts\, Ruti worked as a consultant in diversity education\, primarily assisting primary schools in becoming more welcoming environments for all different kinds of families\, including LGBT-headed families. For much of the past 15 years\, Ruti has worked in the Jewish not-for-profit sector in education and resource development.

SUMMARY:YAWS Meeting
DESCRIPTION:We are a group of parents of young adults and teens who are struggling with life. Examples of such difficulties might be: isolation\, social difficulties\, school avoidance\, school failure or other learning differences\, vocational struggles\, inhibitions around launching and independence or strained relations with friends and family. Many struggle with mental illness\, learning disabilities\, Asperger’s\, substance abuse or autism. Some are undiagnosed\, just not living up to society’s expectations. \n\n\nWe meet once a month and support and encourage one another as we look at strategies for helping our young adults. We understand the journey\, which has many twists and turns\, often not what we expected when thinking about raising a child. We laugh\, cry\, share resources\, and support one another. Occasionally\, we have speakers join us and supplement our knowledge of resources available\, including housing options\, legal remedies\, new medications or treatments\, etc. \n\nThe group meets monthly and is open to anyone interested. All information shared is completely confidential. Should you have any questions\, please call the Temple Sinai office at (202) 363-6394.

SUMMARY:CIESJ Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join Congregation Ramot Shalom of Be’er Shevah and Temple Sinai of DC on Sunday April 27th at 10am Eastern\, 5pm (17:00) Israel for a discussion of The Third Temple by Yishai  Sarid. Read a little bit about this contemporary novel classified as literature\, sci-fi\, fantasy\, and sometimes even horror. \nWho will rule the holy land\, and at what cost?\nIn a near-future Jerusalem\, harrowing omens plague the city: a desecrated altar\, an unbearable stench\, a rampant famine. Shaken but devout\, Jonathan\, the royal family’s third son\, continues to hold services and offer animal sacrifices at the prophesied Third Temple\, built to consecrate the founding of the new Kingdom of Judah. His father\, Israel’s self-appointed king\, has abolished the Supreme Court. The Torah is the law of the land\, and only people of the Jewish faith are allowed in. When war breaks out and an angel of God begins to torment Jonathan\, warning him of his father’s sacrilege\, the foundations of the young priest’s faith—and then his world—begin to give way. \nWinner of the prestigious Bernstein Prize\, The Third Temple plunges readers into a tempest of fanaticism\, betrayal\, and destruction. Where does the power of man end and the power of God begin?\nWith chilling resonance\, this vivid novel from one of Israel’s leading authors sounds an unforgettable warning amidst rising extremism.\nTranslated by YARDENNE GREENSPAN \nRegister to Join via Zoom\n \nQuestions? Contact Rabbi Melanie Aron.

SUMMARY:CIESJ Program with Prof. Ilai Saltzman
DESCRIPTION:The Undoing Of Israel:  Internal Threats To Israel’s Democracy And Social Cohesion\nProf. Ilai Saltzman\, Director\, Gildenhorn Institute For Israel Studies\, University Of Maryland\n\n\nAt Israel’s founding in 1948\, its founders envisioned a country defined by humanist values and adherence to international law.  Its Declaration of Independence asserted that the state will “ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion\, race\, or sex.”  But that ideal has always been challenged by the need to protect its Jewish identity\, which has resulted in discrimination against its Arab minority as well as the oppression built into maintaining the occupied territories. \n\n\nOver the decades\, this inherent contradiction has surfaced again and again\, creating political upheavals without ever resolving the contradiction.  Now\, the war in Gaza and the continuing attacks on its judicial system have brought Israel to a breaking point. \n\n\nThis talk will explore Israel’s trajectory toward increasing illiberalism and potential fragmentation that threatens its foundational humanist values as well as offer reforms that could potentially lead to a healing of its divisions. \n\n\nDr. Ilai Saltzman is an Associate Research Professor of Israel Studies\, and the Director of the Gildenhorn Institute for Israel Studies at the University of Maryland\, College Park. His scholarship and teaching are focused on international security\, Israeli foreign and security policy\, US foreign policy\, and political psychology. He has written numerous scholarly articles and book chapters\, and commentaries in the Los Angeles Times\, Ha’aretz\, The Jerusalem Post\, and other prominent outlets. \n\n\nThis program will be recorded but not livestreamed.  A reception will follow. \nRegister
