iEngage: Liberal Zionism for the 21st Century 

Liberal Zionism is a form of Zionism that aims to reconcile support for the State of Israel with liberal values like democracy, human rights, and equality. It often involves advocating for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and criticizing certain Israeli government policies while still maintaining a commitment to the existence and security of Israel as a Jewish state.

In this three-series cohort-based course — a project of the Shalom Hartman Institute — we will look at frameworks to grapple with contemporary challenges to liberal Zionism. Learners will gain a deeper understanding of the key values that animate liberal Zionism and how to approach the core issues that have emerged during these many months of war.
