This session examines the early Hellenistic era in the Land of Israel, with particular attention to the internal conflict generated by the rise of Hellenism within the Jewish community at the time. What specific geopolitical and cultural factors led to the strife and how did various segments of the community respond? This topic is also explored in The People vs. the Maccabees, a mock trial presented by Kol HaLev, Cleveland’s Reconstructionist Jewish Community.
