Jews in Israel and the Diaspora to think deeply about the nature of the Jewish homeland and the very idea of home. What do Jewish texts and the texts of the West say about the nature of home? What does it mean to feel at home or yearn for home when we are away? Where do Jews belong? Where do we feel most at home? What is the future of the Jewish homeland?<\/p><p>Come to Shalem College for a deep dive into the ideas of home and homeland. We will sit together in intimate conversation and deep exploration, reading great texts from the Jewish tradition and beyond as we discuss the human desire for home and homeland. Led by master teachers from Shalem College, we will explore the meaning of these texts and their significance for our lives.<\/p><p>To see the full schedule, <a href=\"#schedule\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5d696fbc\" data-id=\"5d696fbc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e63bd5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7e63bd5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><em>Day 1<\/em>The Jewish Connection to the Land<\/h3><h4>What is the Bible about?
