While Israel, also known as the start up nation, is a modern, liberal, and diverse country that manages to survive and flourish with very difficult circumstances, the country also struggles with internal divisions, inequality, and a bloody relationship with its environment. In the Israel Learning Fellowship (ILF), we will explore Israel from different angles: its society, culture, history, politics, and current events on a weekly basis via Zoom. This fellowship will be 8 sessions held every Tuesday from 5:30-7pm beginning on March 16th . Students are required to participate in at least 7 sessions, make a short presentation to present to the class on an Israeli topic of your choice, be engaged and be respectful of everyone's opinions and ideas, and connect to the sessions with your camera on. A participant who meets the requirements will get a $200 stipend at the end of the semester.
