Zionism, Anti-Zionism, and Antisemitism: A Three-Part Course with Professor Joel Beinin

In this series, we will explore a range of Jewish and non-Jewish understandings of Zionism, Anti-Zionism, and antisemitism. Long before Oct. 7, 2023, their definitions have been debated, politicized and weaponized for divergent purposes. Jews have never had a unified understanding of these terms or agreement about the political projects connected to them. This series will explore these differences and their implications for our current circumstances. Please register below. The course is $36.00, with an option to donate an additional $36.00 to help support our Israel/Palestine programs.

Before retiring in 2019, Joel taught Middle East history for 35 years at Stanford University. He is one of the organizers of Reconstructionists Expanding Our Conversation About Israel-Palestine and is a member of Havurah Shalom in Portland. He has taught this class in his congregation in Portland.
