Join us for a lively discussion led by: Dr. Felicia Kornbluh, Professor of History and of Women, Sexuality, and Gender Studies at UVM.
With major movies, TV series, and books about her coming out this year, Golda Meir is having a “moment.” Golda is an icon, but of what? Socialist, Zionist, Woman, World Leader, Golda is beloved among American Jews but controversial in Israel.
As we approach the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War when Golda was Prime Minister, Dr. Felicia Kornbluh will lead us in a discussion of Golda’s life and what she represents to us as American Jews. We will also consider the meaning of such renewed interest in her and the “Jewface” controversy with the recent movie.
