Israel: Commitment and Criticism
iEngage Conference on Loyalty, Empathy, and Moral Clarity

December 15, 2015
UCLA Hillel, Los Angeles

One of the most burning contemporary questions for Jews in Israel and North America relates to the balance between the commitment to Israel and our right to criticize its actions and policies.

This is not a theoretical question but a debate that many of us have on a personal level as well as in our communities and as citizens of the countries that we live in. We will attempt to find a relevant way to address this question through a deep look into generations of Jewish and Zionist thought.

You care about Israel, peoplehood, and vibrant, ethical Jewish communities. We do too.
