Let's Talk About Israel

Thursday, January 18 7:00 PM

Maariv Minyan 6:45 PM

Join us for an enlightening evening with Rabbi David Baum and Rabbi Amy Grossblatt Pessah, author of "Parenting on a Prayer," as they guide us through the complexities of discussing Israel with our young and not-so-young adult children. In a world where perspectives on Israel vary widely and the generational divide has never been this great, this program will provide a unique opportunity to explore communication strategies that bridge generational gaps. Rabbi Amy, drawing from her experiences as a parent and Jewish educator, will offer strategies for navigating conversations about Israel within your family. We will engage in a participatory question and answer session so everyone will have the chance to ‘talk about Israel’!
