The series will be a four-meeting learning process focusing on the history of modern Jewish ideas and ideology responding to challenges and realities of diaspora and Eretz Yisrael life. The meetings will be arranged in a historic-chronological order and will present a choice of 3 main ideas for each period. Each engagement will include 3 parts: a presentation of the main challenges and ideas spread among Jews during the period, followed by a group activity: reading texts relating to the different ideas and debating them among the participants. Each session will be closed by groups’ representatives sharing the debate outcomes in their groups, thus presenting a plurality of ideas and solutions.
