SUMMARY:FL JCC Virtual Author Event - Ilan Troen
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our virtual FL JCC Author Series with Ilan Troen\,  Israel/Palestine in World Religions: Whose Promised Land?. \nA lead­ing schol­ar in Israel stud­ies\, S. Ilan Troen has writ­ten an intro­duc­tion to the reli­gious sig­nif­i­cance of Israel\, updat­ed and reded­i­cat­ed in mem­o­ry of the hor­rif­ic events of Octo­ber 7\, 2023. His work reminds us that there are com­pet­ing the­olo­gies defin­ing the con­flict. This com­plex­i­ty is mag­ni­fied by the fact that three faith com­mu­ni­ties\, as opposed to two in oth­er con­test­ed areas like Cyprus\, Ire­land\, and the Indi­an sub­con­ti­nent\, under­stand the Land of Israel to be cen­tral to their iden­ti­ty. Troen\, the found­ing direc­tor of the Israel stud­ies depart­ments at both Ben Guri­on and Bran­deis Uni­ver­si­ty\, sug­gests that reli­gious jus­ti­fi­ca­tions for own­er­ship of the Land of Israel have not dis­ap­peared\, despite the ris­ing sec­u­lar­ism of the mod­ern age. He claims that the sec­u­lar and reli­gious com­po­nents “may be main­tained simul­ta­ne­ous­ly and are often interwoven.” \nS. Ilan Troen is Lopin Pro­fes­sor of Mod­ern His­to­ry\, emer­i­tus at Ben-Guri­on Uni­ver­si­ty of the Negev\, Israel\, Stoll Fam­i­ly Pro­fes­sor in Israel Stud­ies\, emer­i­tus at Bran­deis Uni­ver­si­ty\, USA\, and found­ing direc­tor of the Israel Stud­ies cen­ters at both insti­tu­tions. He is Found­ing Edi­tor of the jour­nal Israel Stud­ies\, and 2023 recip­i­ent of the Asso­ci­a­tion for Israel Stud­ies “Life­time Achieve­ment Award.”
