Due to a conflict with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s speech to the Knesset, MK Yossi Shain cannot attend at the designated time.
This webinar will begin at 1PM ET/7pm Israel.
Modern Israel has become the epicenter of global Jewish life, with tens of thousands immigrating or making ‘Aliyah’ from all corners of the globe to the Jewish homeland each year. Through his book “The Israeli Century”, Member of Knesset and Professor Yossi Shain takes us on a historical journey from the First Temple to modern Israel. The book emphasizes how sovereignty of a people can lay a solid foundation for the future of a thriving, independent nation.
Shain speaks of the Israeli Jew feeling a deep responsibility for tradition and a natural connection to a homeland. He argues, the burden of preserving the continuity of the Jewish people and defining its character is no longer the responsibility of American Jewry and diaspora communities.
During our discussion we will explore:
• The challenges to Israeli sovereignty
• Jewish morality and the challenges of Orthodoxy at this moment
• Both the dangers and opportunities that confront the Jewish future

We invite you to hear Rina’s story, one of the foremost dance artists in Israel. She first established her reputation in the ‘60s as the principal dancer, prima ballerina, of the Batsheva Dance Company where she was engaged from its foundation in 1963 until 1979. The Batsheva is one of the foremost contemporary dance companies in the world. During that period, she manifested herself as an extraordinarily expressive and versatile dancer who is as accomplished in classical ballet as in modern dance. Her dance performances also hold up to international standards of excellence. This applies, moreover, to her own choreography, when she established the Rina Schenfeld Dance Theater in 1979.
I became involved with AIFL last year, and it is a wonderful and worthy organization to get to know. Please learn more about AIFL at www.aifl.org and across Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.

Join us for an expansive conversation about the history of Black-Jewish relations in America that underscores the importance of examining the state of that relationship today. Our accomplished panel includes Black and Jewish community leaders with a diverse set of personal and professional experiences serving as stewards of this relationship across both communities.
Registered participants will be invited to view the film “Shared Legacies: The African American-Jewish Civil Rights Alliance,” a documentary chronicling the powerful story of the coalition between Black and Jewish Americans before, during, and after the Civil Rights movement. The link for the film will be available for viewing 48 hours prior to the webinar beginning, Monday, February 21st. The crucial, historical lessons of Black-Jewish cooperation are revisited and revived in this utterly fascinating film that doubles as an urgent call to action.
Along with the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, many Jews have taken active, supporting roles the contemporary struggle for racial justice. The work of such allies has, in many ways, extended the impact of Reverend King, Jr. and Rabbi Hershel’s visionary leadership. Yet, strains within the inter-community relationship persist, with the antisemitic and racist biases that linger on the fringes of each community having, at times, complicated ties by permeating more mainstream settings. Join us for a provocative, forward-looking discussion to examine this and related matters, beginning with the following questions:

Others commute from communities across central Israel, attracted by the special study courses offered including an educational track taught in English, veterinary studies and a first-class arts program.

David produced the idea of the “anytime anywhere” when he envisioned the wireless thin and light NoteBook.

Winner of the 1987 Israel Prize for innovation in industrial development—Dadi is invested in preparing the next generation for the digital revolution. He was recently nominated to run a government/industry committee to significantly increase the Israeli high-tech workforce.

You are cordially invited to join us for a riveting presentation and discussion with noted fashion historian and curator Keren Ben-Horin, Stitching A New Identity which investigates the relationship between fashion, national identity, and diplomacy. The discussion features the State of Israel from its inception in 1948 through the present day as a case study.
Clothing is an enhancement of individuality; and a way to distinguish oneself in a crowd. The way we dress not only communicates our social identity to the world, but it can also indicates our national and regional identities.
Keren will share vibrant illustrations, photographs, videoclips, and never-before-seen archival materials. Together we will explore key moments about the designers, and political figures who shaped Israel’s foreign relations and — even more importantly — defined what it means to be Israeli.

Great grapes make great wine, thus great wines start in the vineyard. Yet, where and how do great wine makers start?
Join us as two successful female wine makers share their unique and inspiring stories about their passion for creating great artisan wine. Neither started out in the industry– one with farming in her blood became a successful lawyer first and the other with a design background developed a passion later for the creative process of vinification and the industry.
Theodora Lee– Owner of Theopolis Vineyards and Carmel Greenberg–Wine maker Clos du Val have both successfully created respected reputations in the industry. In an industry that is still male dominated and extremely competitive, these women have earned every success through hard work, dedication and tenacity.

Fashion and identity are inextricably linked. Each of us has our unique sense of fashion, which as self-expression allows us to showcase our authenticity and individuality. Throughout history, apparel—like other self-expressive products—have inspired aesthetic professionals such as clothing designers, cosmeticians and photographers.
During this webinar we will look at Israeli fashion through the ages while straddling that line of individuality and national identity. We will look at Israel’s textile industry and the trend fusion of East meets West through the Rose Archive of the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design in Ramat Gan.
We will hear from fashion historian and Director and Curator of the Rose Archive, Tal Granovsky Amit, and learn about these iconic pieces which were donated and, in some instances, restored to their former beauty:

We have all observed with intrigue and great fascination, hostage negotiations from the comfort of our home onscreen during popular films and television series. However, have you ever thought about what goes on behind the scenes of the real-life negotiations of this nightmare in times of war and peace, for the lives of soldiers, journalists and even humanitarian workers caught behind enemy lines?

Over the last year COVID-19 has ravaged the world. Phrases such as incubation period, fatality rate and quarantine became commonplace and discussions about mental health were no longer taboo and ignored.
However, the pandemic often damaged invisible or shadow communities such as at-risk youth. The spike in the numbers of homeless youth in the US and Israel could no longer be ignored.
With increased emotional distress due to loneliness, isolation or being forced to shelter in place under dire circumstances, many were filled with anxiety and depression, facing their fears all alone. Unfortunately, classrooms were vacated in the very place where teachers previously served to recognize early signs of emotional well-being and distress.
Bridging this expanded gap created new challenges for essential organizations, such as ELEM/Youth In Distress in Israel dedicated to transforming the lives of troubled youth in Israel. During this webinar we will learn about:

The American Cancer Society predicts that this year, 43,600 women will die from breast cancer. Although there have been great strides in technology and education pertaining to earlier detection, increased availability for screening and increased awareness, as well as better treatments, women who receive the devastating diagnosis face a variety of challenges that require unwavering support, and unfathomable strength.
As we commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness month our program will introduce us to a group of doctors who are at the helm of helping Breast cancer survivors thrive and accept that there is life after cancer and beauty in acceptance of their new bodies. Breast reconstruction is meant to support and empower, with the goal of helping patients reclaim their identities after treatment.
