“Israeli Literature as a Window to Israeli Society” with Merav Rozenblum

Hello friends,

Per the request of Jane-Rachel Schonbrun, I'm posting this information regarding an adult class at Congregation Beth Am in Los Altos Hills which may be of interest:

This course of study offers a fresh and fascinating examination of Israeli society since the birth of the State in 1948. Through the pens of its leading writers, participants have an encounter with Israeli society that is original, contemporary, honest and proud. Reflections of the mythic Israel are matched by poetry and prose that is challenging and self-critical, and both offer profound insight into the Israeli national psyche.

Merav Rozenblum has been teaching adults for 15 years in a variety of settings including: the USF Ulpan program, several JCC’s in the Bay Area, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and in Moscow and Madrid. Merav also established The Hebrew Short Story Club in San Francisco.
