American Jews and Israel: Where is the Relationship Headed?

Description

Join us for a panel discussion featuring four outstanding scholars with expertise on both American Jewry and Israel.

In recent years, the relationship between American Jews and Israel seems to be becoming increasingly divisive. What are the root causes of this issue? Can the divisions be reversed? How might they be addressed, and how does the trend reflect more complex dynamics at play on the global Jewish stage?

Together, we will address these and other questions on the future of Jewish peoplehood.

No cost to attend
