Historical Growth of Zionism-

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

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.

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.
