The State of the State of Israel: “Jews, Arabs, Judaism and Islam Under a Christian Canopy: A Conversation With Professor Uriya Shavit.”
Monday, Sept. 16 | 10 a.m. AZ time
Zoom
Uriya Shavit (Tel Aviv University)
About the series: Nadav S. Berman (University of Haifa) will interview leading Israeli scholars who will reflect on “the state of the State of Israel.” These interviews will explore profound questions on Israel’s current political and spiritual crisis, including: Is Israel interested in peace with the Palestinians and Arab nations, and if so, what kind of peace could this be? What does the Jewishness of the State of Israel mean, and how does it relate to democracy? What is the status of religious minorities in Israel, and whether a messianic interpretation of Judaism is necessarily in conflict with Israel's commitment to democracy?
