Arliene’s Book Club

This time: The Nightingale by Kristan Hannah. One of Heather’s Picks, this novel – a long but captivating read – It captures the epic panorama of WW2 and shines a light on a seldom seen part – the women’s war, as it recounts the stories of two sisters, each on her own dangerous path toward survival, love and freedom in war-torn France. This is a novel that “celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the strength of women”. Hope you can start reading!

Adult Study: Religious Zionism: From Moderate to Messianic

The pioneers who founded the State of Israel were primarily secular. Yet early on, religious thinkers began to incorporate spiritual Jewish teachings into the Zionist movement. After the Six Day War in 1967, the particular blend of nationalism, mysticism and messianism became the dominant ideology of Israel’s religious right.

Yet there is also a liberal expression of religious Zionism, championed by our Reform movement. Through texts, music and video presentations, this course will explore the teachings and activities of religious Zionism, on the right and the left, both in Israel and in the Diaspora.
