This course will engage us in a process of reflecting on the significance of Israel in American Jewish life. As we explore the historical and contemporary relationship of American Jewry to Israel, we will analyze how Israel has been and is being taught, as well develop a strategic vision for why and how we should teach Israel from the pulpit, at camps, in the classroom and other settings where Jews gather to learn.
