The relationship between religion and democracy is not uncomplicated - for democracy, authority is human-centered, while for religion, authority is God-centered. And yet, religious thinkers - specifically religious Zionist thinkers - have developed deep thought about how they might work together. In this presentation, we will examine a few of those approaches. This discussion is especially important as both the challenges of democracy and the challenges to democracy have become a central flashpoint within America and Israel today.

The shiur will be followed by Mincha/Ma'ariv at 7:45 PM, and a bonfire in the parking lot to celebrate Lag B'Omer at 8:15 PM.
