The Relationship between Courts and Parliaments

Sunday 2 April 2023 at 11 am

At the heart of the current controversy in Israel is the question: what should be the relationship between parliaments and courts in democratic societies? Should there be fundamental rights which parliaments have no power to abridge or power to abridge only by special procedures? Should there be areas of policy in which courts should have no power to intervene? And, if so, which?

Israel, despite its strength as a military force and nuclear power, relies heavily on its ally, the U.S. How supportive is the Biden Administration of Israel today?

Tour of Jewish Colombia

April 19 8:00 am

Join My Jewish Learning and Jewish Telegraphic Agency to learn about the history and culture of the Jews of Colombia. The first prominent Jewish communities in Bogotá, Colombia's capital, were established in the 1930s, a time when there was a large amount of assimilation into Colombian culture. The history of Jewish presence goes back further, with some saying that the founder of Bogotá was Jewish. There are Columbian cultural traditions that can be linked with Jewish customs and every day more people are curious about finding an aspect of their Jewish history that might have gotten lost in time. Our guide, Vivianne, is a third generation Jew living in Colombia.
