We are delighted that Charlotte Korchak will be joining us on Sunday morning, January 26 (via Zoom from Jerusalem) to bring us up to date on what has changed in Israel since the tragedy of October 7.  She will discuss key developments, such as the wars with Hamas and Hezbollah, attacks from and against Iran, the effect on the Israeli and Palestinian people and leaders, the impact on the Middle East, the Abraham Accords and more. The lecture and Q&A are free, but registration is required.

Many of you will remember the terrific 5-part Crash Course on Israeli History, taught by Charlotte Korchak via Zoom a couple of years ago. In it, she traced the history of Jews and Arabs in the land of Israel from ancient times to the pre-October 7 present. Charlotte Korchak is an amazingly engaging and compelling teacher. She was so popular with participants that word of mouth about Beth Am’s Crash Course spread, increasing attendance by more than a third, with 475 households registered by the 5th session.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from Charlotte about what has changed since October 7. Sign up now using the form below!
