Temple Emanu-El presents 'The Empires of Israel' with Moses Glickman

Temple Emanu-El’s Israel Committee will present “The Empires of Israel” on Dec. 6 at 7 p.m via Zoom. “The Empires of Israel” promises to be an exploration of three millennia of history – surveying the many empires that governed over the land of Israel, from the Assyrians to the Ottomans. Students will study, learn, and ask about each empire: What was their origin? What was their historical impact? And, of course, were they good for the Jews?

“The Empires of Israel” will be taught by Moses Glickman, the oldest son of Temple Emanu-El Rabbis Brenner and Elaine Glickman. A junior at Rice University studying mathematical economic analysis, statistics and emerging markets, Glickman has created curricula about ancient history and modern Israel; directed and staffed a trip to Israel for student leaders; served as a delegate to the Maccabee Academy and the America-Israel Public Affairs Committee; and represented his community to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces. He also serves on the executive board of Texas College Democrats and the board of the College Democrats of America.

All are warmly welcome to this special evening. Please register at www.sarasotatemple.org/event-registration.html to receive the Zoom link.
