ITC #5 - Politics: How Does Israel Work?

25 Cheshvan 5775 - 18 November 2014

Group Building and Communication:

• Some reflections and discussion following the terrorist attack earlier that day in a Jerusalem synagogue.

Learning - Politics: How Does Israel Work?:

• The Structure of Israel's Parliament - The Knesset
• The 19th Knesset

Digest:

• We learned about the unique way that Israel's legislative and executive bodies are chosen and govern.  We split the group proportionally - according to the 19th Knesset - and asked each 'party' to cast its support or lack of support for a bill brought to the floor.
