Learn. Connect. Act. Thrive.

Israel’s story is complex, shaped by visionary ideals, turbulent conflicts, and ongoing debates about identity, democracy, and belonging. This four-part series invites participants to move past soundbites and headlines, tracing Israel’s political and social journey from the rise of modern Zionism in the nineteenth century through the establishment of the state and into the challenges of today.

Together, we’ll place pivotal events—wars, peace processes, immigration waves, and shifting political movements—within their historical, regional, and global contexts. Along the way, participants will gain the tools to better understand Israel’s evolving society, its institutions, and its place in the world.

Join us for Chabad at The Dupree, a new monthly lunch and learn series offering meaningful Torah study, good food, and community connection. Open to men and women, each session features a different Chabad rabbi from across Georgia, sharing Torah insights and inspiration. Classes are held at The Dupree, a beautiful and exciting new hub for Jewish life and activity.

Join us for an inspiring breakfast conversation with Sarah Hurwitz—former White House speechwriter for First Lady Michelle Obama and author of Here All Along and As a Jew.

The discussion will touch on frameworks for understanding antisemitism today, how to speak about Israel with nuance, and why leaning into Jewish “uncoolness” might be exactly what our time demands. Following the interview, guests will engage in brief, guided table discussions to connect personal reflections and next steps.
