Israel: It’s Not What You Think, Presented by Rabbi David Kosak

Offsite

Sunday, October 30, 9:15am Location: West Hills Covenant Church (5815 SW Gillcrest Ct, PDX) Israel’s existence has long been a mirror, reflecting back at us our own assumptions, theories, and notions of justice. Can we see past these blinders to gain greater understanding and appreciation for this diminutive country that continually captures the world’s attention? Join Rabbi Kosak for a fascinating presentation and discussion that will lead us beyond the headlines.
