Kicking Off the Month - Iyar: Bar Kochba
In the month when children collect wooden planks and wrap potatoes in aluminum foil for the Lag Ba‘omer bonfire, we discuss the true identity of Bar Kokhba and ask the question: was he a hero or a false messiah? What can we learn about the man from archaeological finds? How does the Zionist movement fit into his story? | Host: Dr. Chen Marx, scholar of Aggadic and Midrashic literature
With: Dr. Moti Zeira, head of the Oranim College: "He was a hero, he called for freedom": Bar Kokhba as a Zionist pioneer. | Prof. Boaz Zissu, archaeologist, Department of Israel Studies, Bar-Ilan University, on the Bar Kokhba revolt from an archaeological perspective.
Sing-along with Gila Hassid and Uzi Rosenblatt
Admission free, but subject to available space; Tickets available from 7 PM.
This is a Hebrew-language only event.
