The Annual Yitzhak Rabin Memorial lecture will be given this Sunday
November 1 at 1:30 pm at the Jewish Community of Amherst by Professor
Donna Divine. In her talk, entitled "Mishnah Impossible: Zionist
attempts to Transform the Meaning of Jewish Identity," Prof. Devine
will discuss what the Zionists had in mind when they created the Jewish
state and how that has changed since Israel was founded. Prof. Divine
is the Morningstar Professor of Jewish Studies and Professor of
Government at Smith College. She has recently returned from a research
trip to Israel. A question and answer period will follow.<br>
<br>
The event is free and open to the public. Complimentary refreshments
will be served.<br>
