"Jewish Indigeneity to Eretz Yisrael” - Talk with Rabbi Leigh Lerner

Hosted by

Please join the Azrieli Institute of Israel Studies on Wednesday, November 9, 2022 at 5:00 PM ET for a talk with Rabbi Leigh Lerner.

About the Talk:

An Alberta Métis suggests five tests of a person’s indigeneity. Let's apply those five points to Jews to see if the Jewish value of Ahavat Zion, love of Zion, has a basis from the very fact that Jews are indigenous to Eretz Yisrael. After a 30 minute presentation, discussion follows, in part prompted by relevant quotations of leading Jewish figures.

Speaker:

Rabbi Leigh Lerner, Rabbi Emeritus, Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom, Montreal.
