Reconstructionism is not a set theology or doctrine, but, rather, a historical and analytical lens, an ongoing process, and an embodied practice. Therefore, we will apply this lens, process and practice (better known as “Reconstructing”) to the concept of “Israel.” 

Is “Israel” a person? A people? A place? A nation-state? A state of mind? 

In this series, we will perform a historical survey of the different ways the concept of “Israel” has been understood and reconstructed throughout Jewish time, helping us to get a broad understanding of what the word “Israel” means. Then, from this historical and contextual grounding, we will begin to explore what “Israel” could be. How is “Israel” being reconstructed in our time? How could it be reconstructed? And how might we be a part of that reconstruction?
