In each session of this 7-session course we will view an hour of documentary film detailing the relevant Jewish events and people in Europe and the Middle East starting with the trial of Alfred Dreyfus in France in 1895 and ending with the rebirth of Israel in 1948. After viewing the documentary for 1 hour we will have a discussion for 30 minutes. 

Michael Perlman is a former President and  board member of CBI. He's given previous courses at CBI including one on "1948" by Benny Morris and one on Rabbi Nahman of Bratzlav. He first visited Israel in 1957 at age 17and has remained fascinated by the facts and meaning of Jewish history. He looks forward to hearing your responses to this detailed, exciting documentary.
