Towards a New Zionist Discourse

February 9, 2022 12:00 pm - 1:15 pm

Banner with DC skyline reads Our Values, Our Aspirations. Shaping our Jewish Future

Can We Still Talk About Israel?

Much like those in Israel, our American Jewish community is living in a time of complexity and amidst a diversity of opinions. Discourse around Israel has become increasingly challenging. With conflict arising from fiercely divergent viewpoints, some may wonder: can we still engage in meaningful, respectful, and productive conversation about Israel?

Against this evolving backdrop, we invite you to join a lively conversation between Rabbi Dr. Donniel Hartman, President of the Shalom Hartman Institute, and Gil Preuss, CEO of The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington—leaders with a keen understanding of today’s evolving Jewish community and inspiring perspectives on how we grow from here.

Towards a New Zionist Discourse
Wednesday, February 9 | 12:00 PM − 1:15 PM

Zoom link provided upon registration.
Closed captioning available.

Interested in learning more before the webinar? Rabbi Dr. Donniel Hartman’s thoughtful perspective is outlined in his powerful essay, Liberal Zionism and the Troubled Committed.
