Israel is living through one of the most complex and painful periods in its history. The questions facing Israeli society touch on democracy and security, religion and state, peace and conflict, identity and belonging.
But how can we find hope in a time of challenge? What should the future of our relationship with the State of Israel entail?
This wide-ranging and open Education Hub conversation – chaired by MPJ Co-Lead Rabbi Charley Baginsky and bringing together Rabbi David Saperstein, Lesley Sachs and Rabbi Dr Michael Marmur – explores the realities of Israel today and the possibilities for its future.
Drawing on their diverse experiences of leadership, activism, scholarship and public life, the panel reflect on where hope can be found, what role Progressive Judaism can play in shaping a more pluralistic and democratic future, and how we sustain our commitment to Israel even in its most difficult moments.
Further Education Hub videos will be released throughout the summer, as shown on the poster below:
