Israel’s Global Journey: History, Politics, and Identity
An Adult Education Experience
January-June 2026
Is there a way to make sense of Israel’s story? While there is no simple answer to this perplexing question, it's certainly worth asking during these troubled times.
If you’re struggling with this or are just curious abut the topic, we invite you to embark upon a complex and emotional journey in an online adult education offering where we’ll explore the amazing account of Israel’s existence against the backdrop of global affairs from 1831 (predating the modern state) to the present. More than a history or political science course, we’ll not just learn but actually experience the stories, decisions, triumphs, and tragedies that have shaped what has become and is now recognized as the State of Israel. In the process, we’ll also explore over 80 countries and several empires, most of which are familiar, and some, perhaps not.
While this course won't make you an expert on Israel or the Middle East, it will give you the tools to analyze this complex region to allow you to form your own opinions and draw your own conclusions.
