Threats and Challenges to Israel's Democracy A Talk With Rabbi Noa Sattath, TODAY at 1:00 PM In recent years, authoritarian regimes have been gaining strength worldwide, mostly following financial and social crises. Although Israel has managed to keep its democracy intact, we must remain aware and be vocal about its violations.  During this webinar, we will scrutinize the different threats and challenges to Israel’s democracy. One of them, the Supreme Court Override Bill, could remove all power from the Supreme Court. While the Knesset is not fully functional, this can open a Pandoras box for extremist behaviors and indoctrination. It is imperative to understand where seemly harmless actions can lead and what we can do about them. ​​​​​​​REGISTER HERE
