After Birkat HaMazon Learning (approx. 1:15pm) this Shabbat (4/6) @CNSBerkeley:
Is Zionism "Strange Fire?"
with Rabbi Menachem Creditor
· Is the political movement we call 'Zionism' traditionally Jewish or does it represent something radically new?
· Why did Orthodoxy and Reform Judaism reject it? How did that change?
· What does Masorti/Conservative Judaism think? Did it always feel this way?
· What might the Torah/Prophets/Talmud have thought?
· What might The Jewish People (and Jewish people) learn from this conversation?
