“Declaring Israel’s Independence”
What should Israel’s borders be? How can a state be both Jewish and democratic? How can the Jewish state make its case to the world? These are the questions at the heart of Israel’s most contentious debates, dividing Israelis as well as Jews and Zionists throughout the Diaspora. But they aren’t new. In Tikvah’s new, FREE online course, one of Israel’s finest historians, Dr. Martin Kramer, shows you how Israel’s founders grappled with these same issues as they discussed, debated, and drafted Israel’s Declaration of Independence. As you join Dr. Kramer on a journey back to the most harrowing days of 1948, you will begin to see how studying this 70-year-old document can shine a light on the very problems the Jewish state faces today.

Corona Virus (COVID-19) Best Practices
We will continue to wash our hands with soap and water before our onegs and kiddush lunches. We will use serving utensils, not fingers when we fill our plates. Challah will be cut, not torn and then distributed using gloved hands or tongs. We will disinfect communal areas to the best of our ability before services, classes and group. If you are ill, please stay home. If you cough or sneeze, do so in the crook of your arm. Let’s all wash our hands repeatedly.
