Donniel Hartman, Yossi Klein Halevi, and Elana Stein Hain explore keeping one’s love of Israel at the forefront, whether Jewish Israeli or part of the Jewish Diaspora, while responding to the new government’s problematic policies.

Thoughtful debate elevates us all. Donniel Hartman, Yossi Klein Halevi, and Elana Stein Hain revive the Jewish art of constructive discussion on topics related to political and social trends in Israel, Israel-Diaspora relations, and the collective consciousness of being Jewish.
