Israel is going through a period of turmoil, with four election cycles in two years and an unprecedented sense of political instability. In a series of lectures about the ‘modern tribes’ that define Israeli society, award-winning Israeli journalist Amir Tibon will describe how Israel’s multi-cultural society is handling the challenges created by this reality. The series will include five sessions conducted over Zoom, each one lasting an hour and containing an in-depth presentation followed by an opportunity for participants to ask their own questions. Amir will share anecdotes, data and stories from behind the scenes, that will all help explain Israel’s challenging dilemmas, and also its great potential and promising opportunities.
A Zoom link will be provided to those who register shortly before the program begins. Contact Amy Karp with questions: akarp@ansheemet.org.
