Israeli Diversity: Melting Pot or Salad Bowl?
with Vavi Toran

4 Part Lecture Series:
Every Wednesday
January 7 - 28, 2009

Israeli society is made up of many groups and ethnic sub-groups (edot), which together form the country’s social fabric. The background, traditions, expertise, and culture brought by each wave of immigration, or carried on by generations who remained in Eretz Israel, have been of immeasurable value in the development of Israel’s pluralistic, democratic society. We will explore a few distinct groups and experience their history, heritage culture and traditions as they congregate and coexist in a multicultural environment.
