Conflicting Visions of Israel Course

About This Event

When the State of Israel was established in 1948, its founders envisioned a democratic, pluralist society that would develop \"for the benefit of all its inhabitants.\" Yet, as with many visions, there is always a get between dream and reality. This course reviews the various visions that have shaped Israel\'s socioeconomic, religious, and political reality, as well as the ongoing debate over the visions that conflict with one another.
