All Hakafa adults are invited to participate either in-person or via Zoom in our Sunday Morning
Adult Education classes led by both congregational and community scholars who will delve into a
variety of topics of special interest and expertise. Come early for a cup of coffee and to
schmooze, and grab a bagel at noon before leaving.

Please join us this Sunday for “The Middle East” with Dr. David Kanin. We are fortunate that Dr. David Kanin has graciously agreed to come back for another session assessing events in Israel and Gaza. 

David B. Kanin is Adjunct Lecturer of European Studies at the School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University and Adjunct Professor of National Security at the Bush School of Government and Public Service, Texas A&M University. In 2010 he retired as a senior analyst after a 31- year career with the Central Intelligence Agency. Dr. Kanin spent much of his last decade at the Agency as a founding member of the Red Cell, a group devoted to analysis of alternatives to prevailing assessments. Dr. Kanin’s responsibilities included challenging Agency judgments on topics worldwide and presenting alternative worldviews to senior policymakers. From 1993-1996 he was Deputy National Intelligence Officer for Europe, in which capacity he managed the production of National Intelligence Estimates and other Community products on Balkan and wider European issues. He was a member of the US delegation to the Madrid Review conference of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe in 1981 and the Rambouillet peace talks on Kosovo in 1999. Dr. Kanin was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin and holds a Ph.D. from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University.
