“WHY? Because Israel Matters” is Temple Beth El’s forum for learning about Israel’s precarious situation in real time. Taking place this year on four Thursday evenings, we hope to study, discuss, debate, and take away both information about Israel and appreciation for the attitudes and opinions of our TBE members. So come with an open mind.
ON THIS PAGE below you will find links to resources for our four sessions, which should be available within two weeks of the session date. All should be available without a paywall. Plus, if you will attend and have other resources to share, please click here to contact Rabbi Jonathan so that we can add to the list. Please take an opportunity to read them before coming to discuss with your fellow congregants.
ALL SESSIONS will be at Temple Beth El, with Zoom available:
SESSION DATES are:
Thursday, October 19, 2023
Thursday, December 21, 2023
Thursday, April 18, 2024
Thursday, June 20, 2024

October 19 Session I: “The Wars Between the Jews: Do Israelis Listen To One Another?”
1. “Dizengoff Square on Yom Kippur eve: A stain on Tel Aviv: They screamed at my pregnant wife and pushed me as I held my toddler – and it had nothing to do with gender separation." https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/dizengoff-square-on-yom-kippur-eve-a-stain-on-tel-aviv/
2. “The state of our brokenness: Something elemental has been desecrated in our shared Israeliness, and Yom Kippur has again forced us to face ourselves." https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-state-of-our-brokenness/
3. “Dizengoff Erev Yom Kippur: There was magic too: Yom Kippur, Tel Aviv, 5784. In Habima Square, hundreds joined a hastily organized Ne’ila prayer service with no divisions, just astonishment ."https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/there-was-magic-too-yom-kippur-tel-aviv-5784/
4. “Yom Kippur and the fight for Israel’s soul: Israelis have been content for too long to let Orthodox Judaism define what is considered legitimate Jewish practice." https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-kol-nidre-prayer-and-the-fight-for-israels-soul/
