Forty years have passed since the reunification of Jerusalem during the Six Day War, a significant event not only in the life of the city, but in the history of Israel and the world. Jerusalem has gone through many changes since then, and is still a center of Jewish and world interest. The Shabbaton will examine Jerusalem's place as a component in the identity of the Jewish people. Through tours and workshops dealing with physical, geographic, demographic, social and cultural changes in the city, we will look into its past, present and future and its affect on us, as part of the Jewish world.
