A series of conversations that celebrate, reflect on, and explore the dynamics of the North American Jewish relationship with Israel.
This year marks 75 years since Israel’s independence, a peak moment in Jewish history that resonates for Jews worldwide.
Even as we celebrate the establishment of the Jewish democratic state, we are aware of the challenges and losses that come with sovereignty. How do we relate to these challenges as North American Jews? When do we feel proximate to Israel and when do we feel more distant? How do we celebrate our joy and connection authentically from afar, while also acknowledging the questions, anxieties, and disappointments that we might feel?
Join the Shalom Hartman Institute for a series of conversations that celebrate, reflect on, and explore the dynamics of the North American Jewish relationship with Israel, diverse perspectives on religious Zionism, and much more, at locations across New York and virtually.
Top Hartman scholars. Guest speakers from Israel and North America. Rich, dynamic, thoughtful dialogue.
Join the conversation.
