Wednesday, May 13 at 6:30pm
Each session will be based on current affairs and the book My
Promised Land by Ari Shavit. As it examines the complexities and contradictions of the Israeli condition, My Promised Land asks difficult but important questions: Why did Israel come to be? How did it come to be? Can Israel survive? Culminating with an analysis of the issues and threats that Israel is currently facing, My Promised Land uses the defining events of the past to shed new light on the present. The result is a landmark portrait of a small, vibrant country living on the edge, whose identity and presence play a crucial role in t oda y ’ s g l o b a l po l i t i c a l
landscape.
