SUMMARY:The New Knesset: Diving into the 2026 Israeli Election
DESCRIPTION:The New Knesset: Diving into the 2026 Israeli Election\nSunday\, August 30\, 12:00 pm \nOn Sunday\, August 30th\, join us online for a digital workshop on the upcoming Israeli elections. Jeremy Leigh\, master educator from the Hebrew Union College\, will join us from Jerusalem to guide us through the ‘modern tribe’s’ of Israeli society\, what they care about\, who they are voting for\, and what may happen at the polls this Fall. Along the way\, we’ll introduce you to familiar and new faces in the Israeli political arena and reveal who they would never make an alliance with… and who might just become the strangest of bedfellows. \nThis is the first of two events (the second will be after the elections). Then\, once the dust has settled and a coalition has been formed\, Jeremy will join us once again on November 8th. We’ll review the predictions\, address the outcomes\, and discuss the how and the why of these results\, along with what they mean for the future of Israel. \nRegister here \nThe New Knesset is generously sponsored by Carole and Jay Sterling and Family \nWATCH: Jeremy Leigh\, the head of the Israel Studies program at the Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem\, discussed the upcoming Israeli elections scheduled for October 27th\, emphasizing that these are not normal circumstances due to recent events including struggles to preserve Israeli democracy and an upsurge in anti-Semitism worldwide. Jeremy invited viewers to discuss and debate the best leadership candidates for the Jewish people and the State of Israel during these dramatic times.
