Israel Speaker Series
11 a.m. Sunday, June 22, 2025, on Zoom: Sam Sokol, a journalist with The Times of Israel, on ISRAEL AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF OF WAR: WHAT’S NEXT?
A year-and-a-half since Hamas’ devastating attack on October 7, 2023, Israel stands at a crossroads. Driven by internal conflict and faced with a battered but undefeated Hamas, the Jewish state is faced with unprecedented security and social challenges: from the post-war governance of Gaza to the revival of the judicial overhaul and the crisis over ultra-Orthodox enlistment. Listen to Times of Israel journalist Sam Sokol as he explains where we are, how we got here and what’s next.
time/date to be scheduled: Rabbi Joshua Weinberg speak with our community about the causes and outcomes of the judicial overhaul saga and how it relates to Reform and Progressive Judaism in Israel. Rabbi Josh Weinberg serves as the Vice President of the URJ for Israel and Reform Zionism and is the Executive Director of ARZA, the Association of Reform Zionists of America.
