Peoplehood, Pluralism, and the Meanings of Zionism for Diaspora Jews Today with Rabbi Lauren Berkun, Vice President, Rabbinic Initiatives, Shalom Hartman Institute of North America.
This session will explore the complexity of Jewish peoplehood today and the challenge of competing values as Diaspora Jews wrestle with their relationship to Israel.
