JLM ADVANCED HEBREW | FALL 24
Radical Hope w/ Tal | 30h
Available spots
Description
Take a boat And cross the sea of fire Zelda Hope is a political act. Hope is ambivalent. Hope is a practice. It’s the choice, again and again, not to ignore the deep pain of our present reality but to act as if a better world is possible, in order to make it so. Belief in a just, shared future in Israel-Palestine seems rarer than ever since the 7th of October and the devastation of Gaza. But it has never been more urgent. In this course we will practice ambivalent and radical hope together, even if we don’t always feel it. How? We will try to understand the deeper meanings of hope, despair, nostalgia and imagination, because feelings are both an individual experience and a collective phenomenon. They reflect culture and politics and are expressed throughout society. For example - do Israelis use so much single use plastic because unprocessed trauma has made us nihilistic and disconnected from the consequences of our actions? We will also explore Israeli, Palestinian and other responses to our current crisis and beyond it. We will look at initiatives that broaden the horizon of political possibility and enage with intellectual and artistic works that have a crucial role both in presenting the reality of the past and present, and in insisting on the possibility of a future with justice and freedom for all. All advanced learners are welcome to this course. We will be using a variety of interactive activities, and giving plenty of space for learners to express themselves and their ideas in speaking and writing. Grammar and other linguistic elements will be taught in an integrated way depending on the needs and interests of the students. *** Early Bird Price Starts at - 1200 NIS - Until 22/09 Regular Price Starts at - 1300 - Until 20/10 Late Price - 1400 - Until first lesson of the course We have made a small change in our pricing structure and are now offering a sliding scale in order to give you the opportunity to donate 100 or 200 shekels when you buy a course.
