Zionism SeminarsThe Search for Continuity More than 50% of the Jewish People today are intermarrying. Some say the rate is as high as 80%. If this statistic alarms you, or if this statistic doesn't bother you this seminar is for you! Since the world has never before seen a dilemma like this, the question "What is our agenda for Jewish Continuity?" is crucial to all Jewish communities. This program challenges participants to identify the means by which we can guarantee Jewish Continuity in the Diaspora and asks what their role will be in this endeavor. Zionist Thinkers: Dreams and Reality Why are Herzl's writings still relevant today? Who was Achad Ha'am, discover what his ideological disagreement with Herzl.

Zionist thinkers are brought to life. Zionism, Israel & the Diaspora - A Troubled Relationship Israel has failed in the "ingathering of the exiles." As such Israeli democracy is faced with a unique problem - Jews who declare allegiance to the State and yet are neither citizens nor live within the country's borders.

Our purpose in this activity is to raise awareness of different possible models for Israel Diaspora relations and to encourage participants to place themselves in relation to this question. Hard hitting questions will be posed, challenging participants' self identity with Israel.
