Join Reconstructing Judaism’s Israel Affairs Specialist, Rabbi Maurice Harris, for an analysis of the current state of affairs in Israel, the Palestinian Territories, and the wider region in light of terrible recent events and the ongoing unfolding situation. There are multiple possible trajectories for the next few years in the region, some of them bleak, some of them middling, and some of them actually hopeful.
The Israel-Hamas war has been a horror show in ways that are very familiar to members of Reconstructionist congregations everywhere; nevertheless, at the same time it is the kind of crisis that sometimes leads towards unexpected opportunities for breakthrough political and diplomatic agreements to emerge between nations and peoples. Rabbi Maurice will offer a presentation followed by Q and A. The beliefs and opinions expressed are solely his own and do not necessarily represent formal positions of the Reconstructionist movement.
