A monthly gathering for adults to discuss current issues about Israel together in a warm and safe environment. The group is co-sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Madison and Beth Israel Center and is open to all!

Join us for one, some, or all eight of these discussions, facilitated by our Jewish Federation of Madison Community Shlichim, Hanna and Oz, and coordinated by BIC members Bob Factor and Madeline Tyner.

The dates, times, and formats (in-person vs. Zoom) of these discussions are intentionally varied to allow for the greatest possible participation. Sessions on Shabbat will be in-person only. Other days/times may be “hybrid” or Zoom only.
