SIJCC’s Jewish Learning Center (JLC) strives to meet learners and families exactly where they are in their Jewishness and provides participants with the tools to dig deeper into, and find meaning within, their Jewish identity.

Seemingly everything that there is to say about Israel and Palestine has been said, with deeply entrenched viewpoints becoming only more so in recent months amid war between Israel and Hamas. A new book provides a truly fresh intervention into the Israel-Palestine debate by focusing on a forgotten episode from history. With this event, author Asaf Elia-Shalev launches "Israel's Black Panthers," a book of narrative nonfiction about a group of young Mizrahi Jews from a slum in Jerusalem who rose in the 1970s to demand racial and ethnic equality. Inspired by the American revolutionary group of the same name, the Israeli Black Panthers shattered Israel's self-image as an egalitarian Jewish utopia, and served as one of the earliest voices advancing Israel-Palestinian peace. By focusing on this Mizrahi story, Elia-Shalev will discuss Israel beyond the binary of Jew and Arab and help explain why Benjamin Netayahu has maintained a stranglehold on power — and why his reign might soon be coming to an end.
