November 13 – December 18

7:00-8:30 PM
with
Rabbi Cheryl Stone
Tuition: $100
In Israel, grief and pop culture are intimately connected. Whenever the nation is shaken by a terror attack or a tragedy, every radio station mutes its pop tunes and happy songs, a part of a practiced Israeli mourning ritual, though usually a short-lasting one. So what happens when the biggest attack on Israeli civilians sweeps the country into an unprecedented war? When the country is burying more civilian dead than it ever has, and losing more and more young people to war every day? When it is still fighting for the return of over a hundred Israelis held captive in Gaza and hundreds of thousands still displaced?
Join us as we explore the Israeli music scene post October 7, through video and conversation: what does it mean to experience war and grieve as a nation through song?
This course will be taught via Zoom.
