From Exile to the Start-Up Nation - A Six-Part History of Zionism and Israel with Renowned Israel Educator Mike Hollander

Wednesdays, Noon-1pm - January 5-February 9 on ZOOM

This series is based on the premise that “Zionism is the most successful revolution of the Twentieth Century.” It begins with the precursors of Zionism in the second half of the Nineteenth Century, continues through the founding of Political Zionism at the First Zionist Congress in 1897, and then looks at the 50 years of building the pre-state Jewish community (Yishuv) in Palestine. The remaining sessions explore the major challenges, successes and failures, wars and governments of Israel through its 73 years of independence.
