Israeli Supreme Court Presentation and Etz Community Dialog
Sunday, March 12, 2023
10:00 am - 12:30 pm in the Library and on Zoom 

Israel is in the midst of an internal political struggle over the authority and future of its Supreme Court. Many in the Etz community, as across the American Jewish community, have heartfelt concerns on what this means. Some of us would like to learn more about the history of the Court, how Israel arrived at the current situation, and how the Court's authority may change. Some of us would like to share our views in a safe environment without fear of "saying the wrong thing" or getting into contentious debate, while hearing a range of perspectives.

Etz Chayim is pleased to welcome Guy Miasnik, an Israeli living in the Bay Area who studies Israel's politics and offers historical explanations and contemporary context surrounding Israel's Supreme Court. Guy will provide an interactive presentation and address questions to provide a factual understanding of the situation. Following Guy's talk and after a short break, you are encouraged to stay for a moderated Etz community dialog where all attendees have the opportunity to be heard and discuss topics of interest. The schedule will be:

Everyone is welcome!
