2025-08-06 18:30 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Temple Beth El -Beck Family Campus, 9800 Yamato Rd, Boca Raton, FL, 33434, United States
From what we watch on TikTok and Instagram, to what we see on TV, to what we read in the news, it’s hard to figure out what’s really going on in Israel. Come spend an evening with Rabbi Dan to talk about the history of the conflict in Gaza and why this is so complicated.

What is Zionism really?
Who is Hamas? Where did they come from?
Why do people say there’s a genocide going on over there?
Is Israel a “settler colonial” enterprise?
Why won’t the war come to an end? Why won’t they make peace?

Come in person or participate on Zoom.
Questions? Call Rabbi Levin or Heather Erez at 561-391-8900.
