This summer Rabbi Barrett will gather for an exploration of My Promised Land, Ari Shavit’s powerful reflection on the story of Israel, the meaning of belonging, and the challenges of living within history. Drawing on journalism, personal narrative, and historical reflection, the book invites us into conversations that have long occupied the Jewish people: How do we remember our past? What responsibilities come with a homeland? How do individuals carry the weight of collective dreams and disappointments?
As our tradition teaches, learning is not only about finding answers but about deepening our understanding through conversation and listening to one another.
