09:15 — South Africa Between Blacks and Whites: Nelson Mandela and His Heroic Struggle Against Apartheid
Lecturer: Dr. Benny First—researcher, expert, and lecturer on the African continent.
The lecture will review the ideological, political, and economic background to the rise of the apartheid regime and examine its manifestations in everyday life. At the same time, we will present Mandela’s personal and national heroic struggle for independence and against racial segregation.
11:00 — Paying Attention to Drugs: When Chemistry Enters the Brain—About Medications and Other Chemicals
Lecturer: Prof. Gafni—researcher and lecturer, Bar-Ilan University.
Since the 1930s, it has been known that chemical processes have a beneficial effect on the brain. This finding led to chemical intervention in the brain through medications for pain relief, anti-anxiety and antidepressant medications, sleeping pills, and more. Alongside this, however, we are witnessing the phenomenon of dangerous drugs and the harm they cause.
