Messianism, Zionism, and Religious Radicalism: Four Spiritualities of Israel — A Tikkun Leyl Shavuot Teaching
How does Zionism represent theological revolution? Does Israel’s reality represent a new Judaism? Through glimpses into the thinking of Israeli scholar Aviezer Ravitzky thought and Jewish stories and texts, we will engage in a fascinating conversation about contemporary Zionism and Jewish identity.
