"The Social Question"
In one of the most turbulent periods experienced by the Zionist movement and the State of Israel, we embarked on an exploration, led by Professor Pnina Oz-Salzberger, of the roots of the idea of liberal democracy as expressed in the writings of Ze'ev Jabotinsky, a leader of the Zionist movement and the spiritual leader of the Likud party.
"Judaism as Culture"
The Zionist movement emerged as a secular, youthful, and dynamic counter-movement. It sought to create, renew, and forge anew, often through the erasure and rejection of the Jewish past. From its inception, and even more so during the period of the Yishuv (pre-state Jewish community in Palestine) and the establishment of the state, Zionism operated in the tension between preserving the historical connection with the past and the Jewish generational chain, and creating a new world, a new reality, and a new Judaism here in the Land of Israel.
The People’s Army in a Democratic State
In this chapter, we explore the relationships between the military and society, morality and warfare, and the military and civilian leadership. Dr. Idit Shapira-Gitelman leads us in a discussion on law and justice, philosophy, and civil society. Beginning with David Ben-Gurion's order to establish the IDF in 1948, through the IDF document, and up to the current protests by reservists, we seek to trace the importance of the moral justification of the IDF and its servicemen and servicewomen.
