Join us for an enlightening discussion on Zionism, a dynamic concept shaped by individual and collective experiences. We will delve into key questions, including:
- Where and when did Zionism originate, and how has it transformed over time?
- What contributions did our forefathers make to modern Zionism?
- How is our personal understanding of Zionism rooted, and how is it evolving?
- What is the perspective of anti-Zionists, and do they present valid arguments?
This is an opportunity to examine Zionism today, relevant for ESRA members and anyone interested in this critical discourse.
