Executive Seminar 2017: Connections to the Land

Introduction

The core Zionist narrative of Israel presents an unbroken and unwavering connection between the people of Israel and its land. True as it is, individuals have felt, at times, doubts, pain and critique as they were articulating their particular attachment to it. In our session, we shall look at works by Yitzhak Shalev, Rachel, Nathan Alterman, Yehuda Amichai, Ephraim Kishon, Balfour Hakak, Lysie Doron and Amos Oz.

This session was given by Dr. Rachel Korazim as part of the Pardes Executive Learning Seminar, Summer 2017.
