“Zionism A to Z”

Temple Emanu-El Beth Sholom, Montreal -- In person and online

Zionism has become a complex and sometimes contentious topic, whether discussed at the family dinner table, on campus, or in broader society. This series explores essential questions: What does Zionism mean, and how did it emerge as a modern political movement? What is the Jewish people’s historical connection to the Land of Israel? We will unpack the various ideologies within Zionism and consider what it means to be a progressive Zionist today.

Join us in a spirit of genuine inquiry and respect. Register in advance to receive a bibliography of recommended reading and, if possible, attend in person.
