Lecture Topic: Unity of Opposites Within Israeli Society - While an Israeli looking at the U.S. elections may have an association of choosing between chocolate and vanilla ice cream, an American looking at the Israeli elections may have an association of Baskin-Robbins.  Coming outof the Israeli elections, our conversation will address the amazing variety of Identities in Israel, in the frame of a social struggle against polarization and for a celebration difference.    The spectrum of Israeli perspectives will open a window to the upcoming community trip to Israel.  The second chapter of the meeting will introduce the ideas, experiences and technicalities of the Israel journey planned for June, 2020.
