Trimester 2: Israel on Campus
12th Grade
Rabbi Chase Foster, Gil Brav & Guest Presenters
There is a concerted effort on college campuses today to delegitimize and demonize Israel. This class will discuss the methods used by those who seek to destroy the Jewish State, and how we can respond to their tactics with facts and logic. We will also discuss the difference between legitimate criticism of Israel and the unacceptable campaign against Israel by those who would deny its right to exist.
