The Chair in Baha'i Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem is pleased to present to you the first of three public lectures dedicated to the study of the Baha'i Faith:

The Rise and Fall of the Baha'i Settlements in the Jordan Valley, 1880-1950

Dr. Shay Rozen
Avshalom Institute & Ariel University

This lecture will explore the fascinating history of the Baha'i settlements in the Jordan Valley during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We will look into the motivations, challenges, and ultimate decline of these pioneering communities, examining their social, economic, and religious significance within the broader context of the region's history.

The lecture will take place on this Wednesday, January 8th, at 6:30 PM (Israel time) via Zoom.
