POSTPONED: Zionism, Satmarism, and Kahanism: Three Sides of One Coin?

DUE TO COVID-19 SAFETY CONCERNS, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED

ABOUT THIS LECTURE:  The modern State of Israel and its centrality of so many Jews create an intermingling of religion and politics which can be polarizing and controversial.   We will examine excerpts Zionist thinkers, from Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum, the Satar Rabbe, and Rabbi Meir Kahane — all of whom present opposing ways of integrating Judaism, Democracy and national security.
