B'nai Israel Congregation

$75 Friends of the Haberman Institute or B’nai Israel Members $90 General Public A scan of the Books of Israelite Prophets seems to indicate that Jonah, despite his reluctance, was one of the most successful of Hebrew Prophets. It is a shame that most Jews only encounter his narrative on Yom Kippur afternoon, at the end of a day of fasting, when perhaps attentiveness is not at its best. We will take our time to unpack the Book of Jonah and give it the attention Jonah didn’t want. Please have a Tanakh (Hebrew Bible, English translation is fine) for this course. Presented by the Haberman Institute for Jewish Studies.

David Makovsky, the Ziegler Distinguished Fellow at The Washington Institute and director of the Project on Arab-Israel Relations, will elucidate the conditions that enabled Arab normalization with Israel and explain the benefits of normalization for both Israel and Arab nations. Further, he will explore the Biden administration’s Middle East Policy and discuss likely next steps in the region.
