SEPHARDI OR ASHKENAZI: THE BATTLE OVER PRAYER RITES IN THE STATE OF ISRAEL -Online- Tuesday, 2 JUN 2020, 9:00 am to 12:45 pm

Class Title: Sephardi or Ashkenazi: The Battle Over Prayer Rites in the State of Israel

Class taught by Rabbi Dr. Levi Cooper

Class description: The Almighty desires the heart … alas, prayer continues to be a battleground for communal narratives, individuality, and evolving notions of gender. We will take a step back in time to the nascent State of Israel, and track how seventy years of debates over nusach ha’tefila, prayer rites, reflect competing visions of the future of the Jewish People. We will conclude our journey, by pondering why the seemingly innocuous issue of prayer rights has served as a lightning rod for key questions of identity, particularly in Israel.
