Join us on Shabbat morning for a fresh fusion of Torah translation, interpretation, and music, with the world premiere of "Jewcy Gossip: Parashat Beha'alotcha," featuring Mile High Mavens Rabbi Eliot Baskin and Professor Caryn Aviv. We promise you'll never think about celebrity blogging the same way again. Storahtelling makes ancient stories and traditions accessible to new generations, advancing Judaic literacy and raising social consciousness.

The Changing Landscape of American-Israeli Politics

Caryn Aviv, Center for Judaic Studies, University of Denver, Zach Levey, University of Colorado at Boulder, Bruce Shaffer

This workshop explores American-Israeli politics from three different perspectives in a panel format. First, Zach Levey will analyze the emerging relationship between the Obama Administration and the current Israeli government. Next, Caryn Aviv will survey how American Jews are 'changing the conversation' about their relationships to Israel through the emergence of non-profit educational and lobbying/advocacy organizations. Finally, we will hear from Bruce Shaffer, who will share his personal experiences and reflections about his participation in Encounter Programs, an educational group that brings Jews from around the world to Israel and the West Bank for dialogue with Palestinians.
