iEngage: Together and Apart
Tuesday Night 7:30-9 - October 10 - Nov.14 (6 consecutive Tuesdays plus one additional session Thursday October 12) at PJTC
Teacher - Rabbi Stephanie Ivler
Cost - $50

This 7-week course from the Shalom Hartman Institute headquartered in Jerusalem  invites us to consider whether, and how we create new language and paradigms for understanding and maintaining the relationship between Jews in Israel and Jews across the world. Jews in Israel and Jews in America are separated more than geographically, living with dramatically dissimilar environments and dangers; we are separated by an ever-growing sense of disparity on issues of identity, religion, politics, values and priorities.  When it comes to issues of the future of Jewish peoplehood and the consequent relationship between Israel and world Jewry, the course will explore which models, conceptual categories and ideas can sustain peoplehood and a connection to Israel today and into the future.

Rabbi Stephanie Ivler, a PJTC member and Vice President for Programs on the PJTC Board of Directors, is an attorney admitted to the Bar in both California and the State of Israel.  Rabbi Ivler travels frequently to Israel for extended periods of time, where she is able to study and experience the disparity between what it means, and how it feels to be Jewish as an American and how it feels living Jewishly in Israel.  Rabbi Ivler has enjoyed teaching throughout decades of professional life, both as an attorney and as a non profit leader in the disability services sector and the California foster care system.
The cost per person is $50.
