Explore Rabbi Rena Blumenthal’s novel, The Book of Israela, with her in this five-session course. The book takes place in modern-day Israel but contains within it a sustained allegory of the “life” of Biblical Israel. Although our reading will focus primarily on the Biblical parallels - including relevant Biblical texts - the book also raises issues regarding the impact of secularism, Holocaust trauma, and the Middle East conflict on contemporary Jewish identity.
