What is Israeli Jewish identity today, and what can it be? Masua Sagiv describes Israel as a place where we can develop a thick Israeli identity that sits alongside our other various identities: Jewish, Muslim, Christian, etc. This session was recorded on June 28, 2022 during the summer Community Leadership Program at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem.
