A powerful new 4-week course exploring Israel’s history, holiness, and meaning in Jewish life.Israel is never just a place on the map. It is the land we face in prayer. The land our people carried in memory for thousands of years. The land at the center of Jewish history, Jewish hope, and Jewish destiny. But what makes Israel so central to the Jewish soul? Together, we will go beyond the headlines and explore the deeper Jewish story of Israel: its holiness, its history, the mitzvot connected to the land, the Jewish claim to Israel, and the unbreakable bond between the Jewish people and our ancestral homeland. Whether you are drawn to Israel through faith, history, identity, current events, or simply a desire to understand more, this course will offer clarity, depth, and inspiration.
