Young Members: Us Among the Israelis

Due to Covid-19 Omicron variant safety concerns, visitation and in-person attendance at Temple Emanu-El Services and Programs has been paused until January 10, 2022. Please refer to this announcement for more information.


The Young Members Circle is thrilled to offer our first virtual event of the year! Us Among the Israelis is a Tel Aviv-based podcast that offers a totally unexpected look at what it’s like to live in the world’s most scrutinized country: Israel. From getting used to living in a country where everyone serves in the army but gun access is restricted, to making peace with customer service in a country where the customer is always irrelevant, hosts Carrie Keller-Lynn and Aliza Landes, two American immigrants to Israel, use less-covered stories about Israel to open discussions on how the country actually works, often with surprising results.

All members of the Emanu-El community are welcome to join our conversation with Carrie and Aliza to hear their perspectives on why Israel isn’t just another America in the Middle East, and what consequences that brings – from the banal to the global.

Please note: The Zoom link for this event will be sent to all registered participants closer to the date of the event. Attendees are welcome to submit questions in advance or live during the event.
