The Varieties of Religious Zionism
The Program in Judaic Studies invites you to this seminar with Shlomo Zuckier on Thursday, March 5.
Religious Zionism has in recent years become one of the most influential forces in Israel’s religious and political life. This lecture maps the variety of different approaches to Religious Zionism, focusing on the range of their theological and political views. By considering their shifting fortunes and demographics from their origins in the 19th century to the present moment, the talk illuminates both live options today and theological paths not traveled.
Open to the public, but space is limited; please RSVP to judaic@princeton.edu. Kosher refreshments will be available.
