October 12, 9:45 am   “From Ancient Tribes to a Modern Nation: The Nation of Israel”

Ryan Donohue will introduce this discussion on the timely topic of the nation of Israel. 

The word Israel carries many layers of meaning, from biblical tribes and ancient kingdoms to a global religious identity and eventually a modern nation state. How did a people once scattered across the world maintain a sense of continuity, and what role did memory, myth, and tradition play in shaping that journey? This presentation will trace the fascinating story of Israel’s evolution, beginning with its earliest origins and leading to the creation of the modern state in 1948, while also considering why questions of belonging and land remain so deeply contested.
