Shalom,
Kol Yisrael is a 6-week cohort learning experience to explore big ideas and big questions animating the contemporary Israeli discourse.
This semester our topic will be Ethnic diversity in Israel. come and learn about the people who made Israel a melting pot.
The name, Kol Yisrael, embodies the aim and methodology of this curriculum. In Hebrew, the word Kol (כל) means “all”. While we can’t provide “all” perspectives and narratives on the questions raised here, it is our aspiration to make our tent wider, to invite more voices to the table, and to cultivate resilient empathy for diverse perspectives. Each session presents competing, value-based narratives that open a discussion not only surrounding the question at hand, but also why those who disagree have compelling reasons to do so.
Each session will be accompanied by food and drinks.
Each student will receive a stipend of $150 for participation in ALL 6 sessions.
Meetings will take place at UConn Hillel green room
5pm
Shirly Afrimi - Jewish Agency UConn Hillel Israel Fellow will choose applications.
Classes start Jan 30th
Classes end by March 6th
All sessions are required and failure to attended participants will not receive the stipend.
Yalla who is coming to learn with me?
See you soon!!
Shirly
