Sibling Love, Sibling Rivalry: The Middle East Conflict Through the Lens of the Hebrew Bible
Rabbi Ben Lanckton
Tue Jan 7, 12-01:30pm, W-11 Board Room
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Many pundits and casual observers of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians (or between Jews and Muslims) assume that the conflict has gone on "since time immemorial," from the days of the Bible. Explore the texts from the Torah (the first part of the Hebrew Bible) that deal with Isaac, Ishmael, and their relationship with their father and with each other. No background in Mideast politics or biblical text is necessary. All texts will be presented in English. Bring your lunch; drinks and dessert provided.
