At Third Space, we are working to convene conversations that feel difficult to broach. We want to exercise our thinking muscles, open our ears to others’ experiences and grapple deeply and meaningfully with important questions of our time.
Even before October 7, 2023, we have heard from so many people who yearn to learn more about topics they feel they need to understand more deeply: about Israel, about Zionism and about current issues facing the region.
In response, we’ve curated Wrestling with Complexity: Israel in Our Time, a series of five opportunities between January and June, 2026. The series is built so that each Happening stands alone, but we hope many will choose to attend more than one — or all five.
This series, and each Happening within it, is intended for those who are curious about learning — not for those seeking to wave a flag of certainty.
When you buy the whole package, you get all five for the price of three.
