“Turn it over and over, because everything is in it...”
(Mishnah, Pirkei Avot, 5:21)
In July, we launched a series of weekly meetings in Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Beersheva with interesting and inspiring people, including journalists, writers, politicians, rabbis, and business professionals. We engage them in conversation about the questions we are all seeking answers to.
We discuss Jewish values, Jewish holidays and traditions through classical Jewish texts, literature, and the heritage of Eastern European Jewry. We learn how to read Shai Agnon, Isaac Bashevis-Singer and Chaim Grade and find the hidden messages in twentieth-century Yiddish literature. We learn how holidays were celebrated in Eastern Europe and plunge into the world of Jewish knowledge, answering many modern questions over a glass of wine in the cozy atmosphere of a library or a Beit midrash. Our first meeting in the Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem with Boruch Gorin and Dan Makogon drew over 100 participants. We discussed the near and long-term future of Russian-speaking Jews in the FSU and here in Israel.
