The Israel Story with Emanuel Ben-David
On three Sunday afternoons, April 5, April 19 and May 3 from 2:00 – 3:00 PM, Emnuel Ben-David will examine the characteristics of the “typical” Israeli, (and by extension the country at large), through looking at some of the driving forces and origins of who Israelis are and how they came to be that way. He will do this through a broad review of the recent history (last 100 years or so) of the Jews in Israel and elsewhere. The story will also be tightly connected to Emanuel and his family’s personal experience. Once the foundation is established, he will teach on some of Israel’s economic and technological successes. Rabbi David Zaslow says, “Emanuel Ben-David is an inspiring teacher. He not only knows what he’s talking about, but he delivers his talks with grace and humor!”
Ben-David was born in Haifa, Israel, almost 60 years ago. He is a graduate of Mechanical Engineering at the prestigious Technion University in Haifa. He served his mandatory military service as a naval officer. He was involved in Defense and Technology more than 40 years. Emanuel lived in Israel until May 2014, retired recently from Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and lives in Ashland with his American-Israeli wife. Dates: April 5, April 19 and May 3. The Havurah is located at 185 N. Mountain Ave. in Ashland. Call 541-488-7716. Free and open to all. Visit www.havurahshirhadash.org for more info.
