The Foundation wrote in its
newsletter: "Together we asked: should the conventional definition of ‘Jewish peoplehood’ be an assumed end goal? In a world of intense individualism, can Judaism be defined primarily as a personal and internal experience? Is a sense of belonging to a Jewish collective even central to how we give meaning and purpose to contemporary Jewish life?
The Bronfman Foundation’s annual
Why Be Jewish Gathering “brings together a wide cross-section of Jewish thought leaders to explore the question, “Why Be Jewish?” from an array of perspectives.”
