Hadassah and NCJW Oneg: Women of the Wall Sat., Nov. 16, 2-3:30 pm at Beth Jacob  For 25 years, the Women of the Wall movement in Israel has led the fight for equal religious rights for women at the Western Wall in Jerusalem.

Join the St. Paul Chapter of Hadassah at its fall Oneg at Beth Jacob Synagogue when Rabbi Emma Kippley-Ogman, Assistant Rabbi of Beth Jacob, will lead a discussion about the inroads the WoW movement has made in protecting religious freedom in the last 25 years, the challenges it still faces and the controversy that it engenders.

THE JEWISH PEOPLE: FROM FREEDOM AND STATEHOOD TO DEFEAT AND EXILE
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17th, 10:30 am - noon at the St. Paul JCC
With Dr. Arie Zmora $18/SESSION * $12/SESSION MEMBER VALUE PRICE UNDER 30 - FREE
For over a millennia the ancient Israelites lived as free people in biblical Cna'an where they formed their identity and built the First and Second Temples. We will explore the complex geopolitical realities that successive sovereign Judean and Israelite leaders faced in the ancient Near East and learn about the local powers and superpowers of the region. We will follow the coming of Hellenism to the region through the last stand of the free Jewish people in Jerusalem (70 CE) and Masada (73 CE).
