In this session, I will explore the accusations that Israel is a colonialist endeavour, a genocidal state and practices Apartheid. I hope you will all accept that Israel isn't that bad. But where did these accusations come from and on what are they founded if anything at all? Should we be bothered by the smoke, if not the fire that isn't there?

Is the value of human life paramount? Who should make decisions about endangering human lives—experts or the individuals whose lives are at stake? A talmudic passage presents three models for thinking about these questions, exploring the values that are at stake for the rabbis and continued to reverberate over subsequent generations.

No Jewish symbol is more misunderstood than the Magen David, "The Star of David." Long before its association with the State of Israel & its use as a marker of Jewish identity, it was a prevalent part of Jewish magic. This workshop uncovers the magical origins of the Magen David and shows how that can help clarify its meaning today.

This year differences of opinion have posed significant threat to Jewish communal cohesion. Whether and how we should live with people who think or act differently to us has become increasingly relevant. We will explore whether certain halachic texts offer an insight into whether living together is desirable and, if so, how to achieve this.
