On October 22, the K-12 Program hosted part two of its webinar Series, titled “Zionism and Jewish Self-Determination in the Land of Israel.” Education Analyst Ari Brown walked participants through centuries of Jewish aspiration and efforts to return to the ancestral land, the launch of the modern Zionist Movement, and re-establishment of the Jewish state. The webinar recording is available here. Part three of the webinar series will take place on December 10 and is titled, “The Return of Jewish Sovereignty in the Land of Israel.”  Ari will discuss the founding of the State of Israel, debates surrounding the partition of the British Mandate, and how Jews and Arabs reacted to these developments. Please RSVP for the webinar here. Additional webinars are scheduled for February 4, 2026, on “The Arab-Israeli Conflict” and April 15, 2026, on “Israel in a Diverse Region.”
