This
amazing five-part Zoom course on the history of Israel will be
offered Sunday mornings at 10am in January & February. It will
be taught by the popular Israeli historian, Charlotte Korchak,
the Senior Educator and Director of International Student
Programs at StandWithUs Israel.
This course is provided to our readers due to co-sponsorship by the Sonoma County Israel Committee, Beth Am JIAC, Under One Tent of Contra Costa JCC, and others.
Registration is required. Recordings will be available for those who can’t attend every class.
The course is designed for participants from age 13 to 120!
To understand the modern-day Israel/Arab conflict, one must understand the history of both Jewish and Arab connection to the land. Diving deep into Jewish history, Charlotte will cover Jewish indigeneity and historic presence in the land, exile, and the roots of Zionism. She will also trace rule of Judea/Palestine post-exile, Islamic conquest, the Arab/Muslim connection to the land, and the evolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Each class will provide well-researched material, analysis, context, relevance to current concerns, and Q&A to encourage engagement and understanding. Two classes will be pre-recorded, with live Q&A afterward.
Our kids, once they reach college, will be challenged about Zionism and Israel’s right to exist. And we all need to better understand the Middle East conflict to have intelligent conversations about it with family and friends. This course will provide all of us with the background to have meaningful discussions based on facts, and it will provide the tools we all need to fight anti-Zionism and antisemitism.
Charlotte Korchak is the Senior Educator and Director of International Programs for StandWithUs Israel. She has worked with over 10,000 students, educating them about Israel. Charlotte received her BA in Middle Eastern History from USC. She asserts that the clash of nationalities, between Jew and Arab, exists and cannot be ignored. Both peoples have a history. The truth lies in this complexity, not in the simplicity of one side or the other. She has quickly become one of the foremost public speakers in her field, recognized for making complex content engaging, accessible, and meaningful for all ages.
If you have ever wanted to learn more about Israel,
this is the
class for you. Please register by January 6.

With David Schenker - Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. The state of Lebanon was once known as the “Riviera of the Middle East”. However, since the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, Lebanon has become a hostage of the Iranian terrorist group, Hezbollah, and is considered a success story for the Iranian regime. They have dreams of replicating further Shiite proxy states of Tehran throughout the globe.
