Class One - A Jewish State
This class will examine some of the dilemmas involved in the creation of a Jewish and democratic state and ask whether it is indeed possible or necessary. We will examine the Status Quo agreement of Ben Gurion with the ultra orthodox and ask whether Israel needs a constitution.
Class Two - Dilemmas
Through case studies we will look at more dilemmas in a Jewish state. In particularly we will look at the case of Brother Daniel, Gush Katif and the growth of refusal in the army on religious grounds. The lecture will conclude with a discussion regarding the alleged loss of Judaism in a Jewish State.
Class Three – Jerusalem, the Holy City
Jerusalem, the holy city, lies at the crux of the world’s religious conflict. This class will look at Jerusalem, modern and old and will discuss the aspirations of its inhabitants.

"I have greatly enjoyed the seminar offered by neil lazarus. It has given me a chance to express my own views concerning the present situation in the middle east. When I tell my mother of the seminar she wants to sit in on it with me and she tells me of her own experiences in living and growing up. It has brought us together in ways that I never could have imagined. I have realized that there is no such a thing as a hopeless situation when there are people who have the courage to see a matter through no matter what may befall in the course of events and that each seemingly impossible situation offers us a chance to reinvent ourselves as individuals and as nations. Where others may find obstacles, I find doors of opportunity."

"Politics and Conflict Group 1- Neil is an outstanding leader of the group and a brilliant lecturer. The first session left me speechless. Hamas-Fatah-Hisbollah propaganda-pep rally-videos scared me. Please provide more truth videos! Second session: Jewish State & Israeli Politics. I learned more in 1.5 hours about the Israeli Democracy & politics in Israel, than I ever could have learned about US politics/democracy even after living 50 years in the US. Hertzel could never have imagined the land being destroyed by a nuclear device. The Jewish State is the Promised Land. Please offer more courses on similar topics. Thank you, James"
