Israeli Society through the Lens of Israeli Cinema


  • Ina Levine Jewish Community Campus 12701 North Scottsdale Road Scottsdale, AZ, 85254 United States (map)

In many ways, Israeli culture serves as a barometer of society. Join Dr. Vaisben as we watch scenes from a sampling of films (both drama and comedy) and discuss how the filmmakers portray various social conflicts and dilemmas. Some of the issues addressed are: the secular/religious divide; the character of soldiers in the IDF; and Arab-Israeli relations in films.

Mondays beginning June 11 through June 25 from 12:15 PM to 1:30 PM
Bring your dairy lunch or food from Milk and Honey Cafe
Cost: $50

Faculty: Dr. Eran Vaisben
