Bite-sized Israel [Summer 2026 Repeats]
Join Mikhael Kesher for any or all of three 30-minute morsels of Bite-sized Israel, learning to enrich your Israel knowledge and connection alongside fellow educators. This summer, Mikhael will repeat three popular sessions on historical figures:
July 6 — Chosenness: David Ben-Gurion and Golda Meir
July 20 — The Legacy of Ze'ev Jabotinsky
August 3 — Yitzhak Rabin's Final Speech
Each session stands alone, and no prior knowledge is necessary to attend. Sessions will not be recorded.
