Virtual Field Trips to Israel for Adults: Tiyulim (trips) with Shira and Susan

Tuesday, December 8, 2020 22 Kislev 5781

7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

As part of our lifelong learning theme this year “Tikvah (Hope) Koach (Strength) and Ruach (Spirit and Resiliency),” our entire congregation will be exploring five middot (Jewish values). The five middot and when we will be learning about them are: 

sukkat shalom (a shelter of peace) – October -Nov. 7
ometz lev (inner strength) – Nov. 8 – December
g’vurah (courage) January – February 27
k’hillah (community) February 28 – April 17
hesed (loving kindness, tying into hope) April 18 – May 23

During each eidah (unit) we will have educational activities for youth, families, and adults on these subjects. One of the adult learning opportunities we will have for each middah (singular, Jewish value) is a virtual field trip to Israel with Israeli tour guide, Shira Kleinman.

Cost: $10 per Zoom square • Pre-Registration Requested, please register below. More Sessions to be announced!

Tuesday, December 8, (22 Kislev) at 7:00 pm, will be the second of our tiyulim (trips). You need not have taken the first trip to take the second trip. All trips are independent of each other. The theme for this trip is, “It’s written on the walls.”

Israeli society is complex and diverse. The dynamics of Israeli society are overheard through conversation in the market, small non verbal gestures and even with the honking of horns. Artists in Israel are bringing the complexities and beauty of Israeli society into their art. Music and poetry address the inner thoughts of the artist in a way that others find relatable. Art is a unique way to engage in conversation between the artist and the observer. The streets of  Israel are no exception. We turn to the streets to learn about the deeper thoughts, fears, questions, moments of courage and pride that make up Israeli society. Many Israeli artists have used their ometz lev to take to the streets and engage in personal conversation with passersby through their graffiti. Join us on those streets for a tour that stimulates the eyes and the ears as we unpack the complexities of Israeli society.

Sorry, Registration has ended.
