SUMMARY:Inside The Middle East: Navigating Through the Storm to the Horizon's Edge
DESCRIPTION:Avi Melamed returns to the North Peninsula with fresh insights\, building upon last year’s impactful visit. \nAs the Middle East navigates a storm of unprecedented challenges\, we stand at a pivotal juncture that will define the future of Israel\, the Palestinians\, and the entire region. In this critical briefing\, we will delve deep into the forces driving these turbulent times\, unravel the intricate complexities beneath the surface\, and assess the far-reaching implications for both the region\, and the world. By connecting the dots between past and present and all figures and forces\, we’ll guide you from the eye of the storm to the horizon’s edge\, offering clarity and context to help you navigate the rapidly unfolding events. \nAvi Melamed\, a former Israeli intelligence official and senior Arab affairs advisor\, is a trilingual educator\, analyst\, and author specializing in contemporary Middle East geopolitics. Avi’s latest book “Inside The Middle East: Entering a New Era” has garnered global praise\, including from the Arab world. In May 2023\, ITME launched “The Seam Line\,” a documentary series offering a unique perspective on the Jerusalem conflict and uncovering lesser-explored human dimensions of the Israeli-Palestinian issue within the broader Middle East context. \nHosted at Peninsula Sinai Congregation \n6:30 PM Reception \n7-8:30 PM Program \n_________ \nAbout Avi Melamed\nAvi Melamed\, a former Israeli intelligence official and senior Arab affairs advisor\, is a trilingual educator\, analyst\, and author specializing in contemporary Middle East geopolitics.

SUMMARY:Food For Thought: What Is Israeli Cuisine?
DESCRIPTION:Food is essential to human existence\, and people from all cultures engage in acquiring\, preparing\, and consuming it daily. Israeli food encompasses more than just popular items like falafel\, hummus\, schnitzel\, and Bamba. By taking an anthropological perspective\, Dr. Azri Amram will explore how food and eating habits reflect Israeli society and culture. Additionally\, he will examine how food influences relationships among individuals and various groups within and outside of Israeli society\, leading to a deeper understanding of Israeli cuisine. \nDr. Azri Amram is a lecturer and researcher who specializes in the social\, cultural\, and political aspects of food and eating. He is an Israel Institute Teaching Fellow and serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Anthropology Department at the University of California\, Santa Cruz (UCSC). His primary research examines the intercultural relations between Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel within food spaces. Dr. Amram holds a Ph.D. from the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Ben Gurion University of the Negev\, as well as a Master’s degree in Public Policy from Tel Aviv University. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Food For Thought:  The Real Heroines of Sephardic Culture
DESCRIPTION:Sephardic women have played a heroic role in keeping their culture alive. Thanks to their unshakable commitment and determination\, Sephardic women were at the center of the recovery process after expulsions and exiles\, and managed to not only keep the traditions and customs alive but thriving. \nIn this enlightening new program\, Professor Rivka Amado\, a Sephardic historian\, will explore the role of two groups of Sephardic women: those who fled Spain and Portugal after the expulsion and the conversa women who remained in the Iberian Peninsula and kept the Jewish faith in secret. Through this exploration of the role of these women in Sephardic culture\, we will gain new insights into this important segment of the Jewish community and Judaism as a whole. \nDr. Rivka Amado is a musician and lecturer specializing in Judeo-Spanish music\, culture and history with a focus on Sephardic women’s songs and spiritual experience. \nRegister Here.
