SUMMARY:The Broken Neck Calf: A Three-Part Learning Series on Communal Leadership and Responsibility
DESCRIPTION:How did an ancient Torah ritual conducted by the community elders and magistrates become a call to leaders to pay attention when a society becomes numb to the growing presence of violence and competition in its midst? \nOver three sessions (Oct. 22\, Oct. 29 & Nov. 5)\, this series will explore this ancient ritual and how it became a way to signal to communal leaders when there may be something in need of attention about what is going on in the ether and can be used as a call to community leaders to take a closer look at what is at play beneath the surface.

SUMMARY:The Arab-Israeli Conflict: Causes\, Consequences and Cures: A Four-Part Learning Series  with Dr. Steven David
DESCRIPTION:This course examines the origins\, controversies\, and proposed resolutions of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The first session considers the creation of the state of Israel and whether the Jewish state was “born in sin.” Session two asks whether Israel can be considered a democracy given that it privileges one group (Israeli Jews) over others. Session three looks at the reasons behind America’s extraordinary support for Israel and whether such support is now in jeopardy. The series concludes with the impact of October 7 and its aftermath on Israel’s place in the world. The class will include both lecture and discussion. Vigorous debate is encouraged. \nThis class is for the curious and those open to learning\, not for those seeking to wave a flag of certainty or push a specific agenda. \nSteven R.

He has won the “Best Teacher” award at Hopkins three times. David lives in Stevenson\, Maryland with his wife\, Maureen. \nDates: Oct. 23\, Nov. 6\, Nov. 19\, and Dec. 4\, all from 6pm-8:15pm (Note that the third class is on a Wednesday\, not Thursday.)
