In the aftermath of October 7th and the war that followed, Israel and the Jewish people seem to be grappling once again with a sense of aloneness and isolation, which many believed belonged to a bygone era. With the surge in antisemitism, and the challenges to Israel's legitimacy in much of the world, the idea that we are "A Nation that Dwells Alone" feels all too real - with Jewish people divided as to whether that phrase represents a curse, a blessing or a destiny we cannot avoid. Dr. Tal Becker will lead us through a textual exploration of the relationship of the Jewish people with this concept of loneliness and a new way to understand its implications for the future.   

Please note: Torah Study will be in-person only.
