Agnon's "Earth of Israel"

For the week of Yom HaZikaron and Yom HaAtzmaut, we'll read Agnon's "Afar Eretz Yisrael" ("Earth of Israel") which explores issues in the uniqueness of the Land and the Jewish connection to Israel from the four corners of the Diaspora.

Join us live at Jerusalem's Agnon House (free admission) or online with WebYeshiva from www.WebYeshiva.org/Agnon

This self-contained session picks up on themes we've been exploring recently in our study of Agnon - feel free to visit the archives of these two previous sessions: here and here.
