Rodef Sholom: A Reform Jewish Congregation in Marin County, California

Israel: The Challenge of Power
featuring Rabbi Donniel Hartman and Rachel Havrelock
Wednesday, 11/16/11, 7 pm
All democratic countries struggle with the moral challenge of exercising power in a complex world. Rabbi Hartman will explore how can Israel respond to these challenges and use its power in a way that is consistent with the highest standards of morality and Jewish values. Hartman is president of the Shalom Hartman Institute.

Rabbi Hartman will be preceded by Rachel Havrelock, teaching on ”The History of the Map of Israel,” comparing maps of ancient Israel and the Second Temple period with maps drawn by Western powers in the 19th and early 20th centuries and the evolving map of the State of Israel. Ms. Havrelock is this season’s Visiting Osher Marin JCC Scholar (January-April 2012.)

$18 members of OMJCC & co-sponsoring organizations; $20 public . Contact the OMJCC for tickets.
Co-sponsored by Congregation Kol Shofar and JCRC in association with Congregation Rodef Sholom.
