The next ACSI meeting is Thursday Sept 15th, 2011, at 7:30 pm at Beth Weizmann Community Centre, 306 Hawthorn Rd, Caulfield North.

A Zionist Rabbi in Israel
Rabbi Ronnie Figdor, Executive Director, Mizrachi Melbourne

Rabbi Ronnie is the Executive Director of Mizrachi Melbourne. Mizrachi is a Jewish Religious Zionist group encompassing six synagogues, a Kosher certification agency, a 700-strong K-12 co-ed school, a charity fund, Emunah women's group and Bnei Akiva, the global Jewish Youth organisation. He teaches ethics and Bible studies at the Florence Melton Adult Mini-School, was the Principal at Masada College in Adelaide and Leibler Yavneh in Caulfield, and also consults in IT and emergency management. He has just returned from a fruitful trip to Israel, and will share some of his subsequent insights, in his delightful trademark style.

Historical Growth of Zionism- Zvi Civins, Education Director, Holocaust Research Centre

Zvi Civins is the director of education at the Jewish Holocaust Centre in Elsternwick. He has been the director of Jewish studies at Bialik College (Hawthorn) and principal of King David School. Zvi studied at Hebrew University and has taught for the Florence Melton Adult Mini School, starting in 2001. He recently co-taught Beyond Borders, on the Israeli Arab conflict and the development of Zionism. Originally from New Jersey, Zvi has been a teacher since 1974, and lived in Israel for two years. Teaching is his passion, and with a unique and detailed perspective on Zionism, he will give us new insights into its growth pre and post-Holocaust.

ACSI meetings are on the third Thursday of every other month - the remaining meeting of 2011 will take place on and November 17. Mark this dates in your calendar now.

ACSI meetings are held at Beth Weizmann Community Centre, 306 Hawthorn Rd, Caulfield South, from 7:30pm.

Donation is $5*. Tea, coffee and snacks are provided.

ACSI meetings last approximately two hours, and include presentations on issues relevant to Christians who support Israel. Examples of presentations include The Jewish Roots of Christianity, How to Effectively Advocate for Israel, The Nabatean Civilisation, The Geography of the Land of Israel, Life in the Time of Abraham, The History of Jerusalem and more. (Topics covered in past ACSI events can be seen here).

The aim of these meetings is to provide Australian Christians who support Israel a regular source of information about issues that matter to them, from local, interstate and international speakers, in order to better arm them to speak about Israel to people in their church and workplace.

E-mail acsi@acsisrael.org for more information.

* For almost three years, ACSI has been delighted to present, free of charge, high quality evenings, bringing together Australian Christians who support Israel, and helping and encouraging them to advocate for Israel in their churches and among their peers. Unfortunately, growing costs have forced us to begin charging $5 entry. This will ensure ACSI can continue providing excellent and timely information about Israel, the Arab-Israel conflict and matters of concern to all Australians Christians who support Israel.
