HaTikvah: The Hope and its Discontents
Sunday, May 1st at 10:30 AM
Professor Edwin Seroussi
In this presentation, we will embark on a journey in time from the source, to the creation, to the contested reception of the modern Hebrew song HaTikvah. Once the anthem of the Zionist movement and, now the national anthem of the State of Israel, our journey will reveal the early Zionist movement’s creative drive and haphazard experimental character history, and the difficulties inherent in choosing a symbol for a modern nation-state.

So you Want to be a Zionist?
Blake Flayton, Kylie Unell, and Rabbi Zuckerman
Being a proud Zionist seems more daunting than ever. Supporters of Israel must often reckon with the possible repercussions of expressing this part of their identity, especially on college campuses and in young-adult circles. In honor of Yom HaAtzma’ut, our panel will discuss navigating these complexities and share insights on how the next generation is paving the way to be loudly and proudly Zionist.
