Shared Destiny or Separate Paths? A New Perspective on Jewish Peoplehood

March 19, 2023 9:00 am - 9:45 am

Politically and religiously, North American and Israeli Jews are increasingly growing apart. As Israel marks its 75th year of independence, can we still claim that the Jewish people share one destiny? When values and priorities diverge, can there be a collective identity?

Join The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, in partnership with the Shalom Hartman Institute, for a riveting keynote address on this pressing topic by Rabbi Dr. Donniel Hartman, President of the Shalom Hartman Institute, live from Shared Destiny | Separate Paths: A Leadership Forum on American Jewry & Israel. Together, we’ll explore the forces driving this wedge, and consider why this is the moment to imagine a new grand narrative – a unifying meta-story – that redefines Jewish peoplehood.

SUNDAY, MARCH 19th | 9:00 AM – 9:45 AM

Zoom link provided upon registration.
Closed captioning available.
