Hazak Presents
Sculptures of Lance Glasser (Zoom)
Sunday, March 14, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.
Lance Glasser has always been drawn to figurative art, especially when gesture and motion are the dominant themes. His bronze sculptures have a fluidity of line that belies their solidity. “I’m always thinking about the rhythm of the finished piece,” says Glasser. “Finding the lines of motion is the only way I know to make a piece of bronze imply movement.” To connect online (with or without video), follow this link: https://tinyurl.com/yk7jkane To connect by phone, call (669) 900-9128, Meeting ID:830 5120 2203, Password: 652673

Palestinian Refugees and the War of Return (Zoom)
Sunday, April 11, 8:00 – 9:30 p.m.
The talk will present the origins of the idea of a “right of return” for Palestinian Refugees, and argue that this Palestinian demand for a “right of return” has no legal or moral basis. For the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians to end with peace, Palestinians must come to terms with the fact that there will be no “right of return.” The world has to recognize this for the good of Israelis and Palestinians alike. Speaker Einat Wilf is a former member of Knesset and one of Israel’s leading public intellectuals. View Flyer
