SUMMARY:Close Reading: Sons and Daughters by Chaim Grade - A Jewish Novel Taught by Dr. Susanne Klingenstein
DESCRIPTION:The sharp Yiddish novelist\, Chaim Grade\, described the falling apart of the orthodox world in Eastern Europe in the 1930s. Sons and daughters of rabbis get out of the shtetl\, but the fathers claw them back through guilt. Grade’s characters are incredibly alive; they are goofy\, mad\, heroic and wise.

SUMMARY:Out of the Darkness: Combat-Related Trauma & The Niv Nirel Center
DESCRIPTION:Come hear the remarkable team of Tami Raviv and Dr. Kfir Feffer speak about the pursuit of their common vision – the creation and operation of the Niv Nirel Trauma Center. \nTami Raviv\, a leader in Israel’s business community\, lost her 27 year-old daughter\, Niv\, and her future son-in-law\, Nirel\, in the slaughter at Kfar Aza. She was introduced to Dr. Kfir Feffer\, a leading psychiatrist in Haifa after mentioning to a mutual friend her desire to do something for those in trauma – a tribute to Niv and Nirel\, both of whom were pursuing careers in helping others in need. Kfir’s reserve service in the IDF found him working with Golani infantry soldiers suffering from combat related PTSD\, post October 7\, and understood that the skyrocketing needs to help address them. \nThe Niv Nirel Center\, now a reality\, is known as a pioneering\, world-class trauma and rehabilitation facility\, dedicated to providing state-of-the-art treatment to victims of combat-related trauma. \nFor more information\, please contact Sue Rosenbaum.

SUMMARY:Pathways to Hope: A Conversation with Young Israeli Changemakers
DESCRIPTION:Join Hartman’s Ronit Heyd\, Vice President and Director of the Center for Israeli & Jewish Identity\, in conversation with participants from the Shalom Hartman Institute’s Hazon program visiting from Israel Israel — Noi Schwartz\, Ayala Dahlan and Yonathan Machlis. \nSince October 7\, it has been hard to imagine a secure and peaceful future for Israel. Conversations across the Jewish world have often been marked by despair: ongoing war\, political deadlock\, internal divisions\, and a growing sense that the vision of a democratic\, united Israel feels more distant than ever. \nYet there is another story—one grounded in hope. Hope is more than a feeling; it is the engine of social change and the foundation of a better future. As Israel’s anthem\, Hatikvah\, reminds us\, hope is central to Jewish identity and to those shaping Israel’s tomorrow: young changemakers building community\, students defending democratic values\, spiritual leaders offering guidance\, and bold thinkers imagining new paths for shared society. They remind us that even in difficult times\, aspiring and working towards a better vision for tomorrow can bring about real change. \nTemple Emanuel and the Shalom Hartman Institute invite you to join us at Pathways to Hope (Netivim Shel Tikva) where you’ll hear from the leaders who are meeting today’s realities with vision and courage. Together\, with purpose and optimism\, we can help shape a better future for Israel. Register here. \nHazon (Hebrew for vision) is a cutting-edge leadership training initiative for Israeli university students eager to become agents of change. Grounded in a bold vision for a Jewish and democratic Israel\, Hazon equips participants with the tools and inspiration to shape the future of Israeli society. Learn more about Hazon here. \nWatch a Recording Here→\nAbout the Shalom Hartman Institute’s Hazon Program Participants\nNoi Schwartz is the Student Communities Manager at Tene Yerushalmi and a psychodrama student at Seminar Hakibbutzim\, where she interns with people experiencing homelessness. An actress and writer in independent theater ensembles\, she has also taken part in a wide range of leadership and community programs in Israel and abroad. As part of the Hazon fellowship\, she founded an interfaith women’s theater group—bringing together Jewish\, Muslim\, and Christian participants for dialogue\, study\, and performance. \nAyala Dahan is the Alumni Program Director of Hazon at the Shalom Hartman Institute. She has been active in the political field\, serving as former Chair of Yesh Atid at the Hebrew University\, Deputy Head of the party’s field operations\, and a participant in both national and municipal campaigns. She was also among the founders of the student protest against the judicial overhaul and previously served as CEO of the social justice organization Ma’aglei Tzedek. She holds a B.A. in Philosophy\, Politics and Economics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and is currently pursuing an M.A. in Gender Studies at Tel Aviv University. \nYonathan Machlis is the Director of the Center for Social Justice in Haifa.

SUMMARY:Close Reading: Sons and Daughters by Chaim Grade - A Jewish Novel Taught by Dr. Susanne Klingenstein
DESCRIPTION:The sharp Yiddish novelist\, Chaim Grade\, described the falling apart of the orthodox world in Eastern Europe in the 1930s. Sons and daughters of rabbis get out of the shtetl\, but the fathers claw them back through guilt. Grade’s characters are incredibly alive; they are goofy\, mad\, heroic and wise. The novel is long\, learned and confusing\, so we will read it together at the clip of 50 pages each week\, accompanied by one of discussion each week to help understand the religious world of the Lithuanian rabbis. \nClass dates: Nov 6\, 13\, 20\, Dec 4\, 11\, 17\, 30\, Jan 8\, 15\, 26\, 29\, Feb 5\nAll classes will meet on Zoom. \nCost: (Scholarships available)\n \n$180 for Temple Emanuel Members\n$250 for Non-Members \nThis class is now at capacity. \nAbout Dr. Susanne Klingenstein\nDr. Susanne Klingenstein is an Associate at the Center for Jewish Studies at Harvard University. She served as professor of Writing and Humanistic Studies at MIT\, as Lecturer in the Humanities at Harvard Medical School\, and as Director of the Communication Curriculum in the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology.

DESCRIPTION:From his perch as founding editor of the online newspaper “Times of Israel\,” David Horovitz reports daily and editorializes regularly on events in Israel. His conversation with CEO & Portfolio Manager of The Baupost Group\, Seth Klarman\, will be wide-ranging; from the carnage of October 7\, 2023\, to the release of the last living hostage last month\, to the ramifications of this period for Israeli society now and far into the future. With David’s keen reporter’s eye\, crisp and clear communication style\, deep knowledge of history\, and unique lens on Israeli society and political life\, this conversation will bring all of us closer to the trauma Israelis have been experiencing for the past two years – the horrific massacre\, multifront wars\, terror and rocket attacks\, everyday life disrupted\, politics and protests on hold.
