Who is a Jew in the State of Israel?

Will the new Israeli government’s policies undermine Jewish peoplehood? The question “Who is a Jew?” has major implications for issues of immigration, citizenship, conversion, and personal status (marriage and burial). How will the Israeli right-wing’s proposed reforms impact democracy, freedom of religion, and Jewish life?

Join Tani Frank, Director of the Shalom Hartman Institute’s Center for Judaism and State Policy, and Yardena Schwartz award-winning journalist and member of Hartman’s Seminar & Writers Workshop for Journalists, to understand the contentious and complicated issues of religion and state in Israel today.
