Kol Yisrael
Kol Yisrael is a 6-week cohort learning experience to explore big ideas and big questions animating the contemporary Israeli discourse.
First session (of 6) is Wednesday October 11, 7:30 - 9:00pm, Building W11
This program, which includes a stipend for participants, is only for current MIT undergraduate and graduate students. Dinner is provided at each meeting.
The name, Kol Yisrael, embodies the aim and methodology of this curriculum. In Hebrew, the word Kol (כל) means “all”. While we can’t provide “all” perspectives and narratives on the questions raised here, it is our aspiration to make our tent wider, to invite more voices to the table, and to cultivate resilient empathy for diverse perspectives. Each session presents competing, value-based narratives that open a discussion not only surrounding the question at hand, but also why those who disagree have compelling reasons to do so.
