Conflict In Context with Joe Perlov
Joe Perlov is a Philadelphia-born former Kibbutznik, who has served as an educator, community leader, and lecturer in Israel, Europe, and the US. He is the founder and former CEO of the educational travel company, IsraelExperts, and was instrumental in creating educational programming for the Birthright program.
This innovative, interactive program allows participants to get familiar with the dawn of Jewish times – along with the Jewish people’s connection to the Land of Israel – and the twists and turns that history has taken up to the present day. Conflicting narratives and political positions are explored, in a spirit of intellectual honesty and respect. The big ideas and critical events of Jewish and Zionist history are unpacked, and examined from a variety of perspectives.
Make sure you attend so you can truly understand how history, politics and geography has impacted the boundaries of the map and everyday lives of the people living in Israel over the centuries!
This program is FREE and open to all community members – Registration is required.
As a part of the 12th annual Israel Today series presented by the Jewish Community Relations Council of the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater, Simon Family JCC, & Community Partners.
