One vision of Israel is that with sovereignty we no longer need to take account of the views of others. At the other end of the spectrum is the aspiration is the desire to be a “light unto the nations,” setting an example to the world. In episode #3 Israel and its Critics, Donniel Hartman, Elana Stein Hain and Tal Becker discuss how Israel should view critical responses from around the world.
The podcast draws its name from the concept of Machloket l’shem shemayim, “Disagreeing for the sake of heaven.” In each episode Donniel, Elana and Tal will analyze contemporary issues to explore ideas and values behind differing positions challenging to both Israel and the Jewish world. In the best of Jewish tradition, they will do so not by picking a side but by articulating the most morally serious sides of the argument – whether they agree or not!
NOTE: This event is part of our month-long celebration of Jewish ideas, All Together Now. If you are not yet registered for All Together Now, you will be prompted to register before you can sign up for this event.
