Lectures, seminars, group, and havruta study addressed questions such as:
How do the different names for the Jewish collective – Am Yisrael, Klal Yisrael, or B’nai Yisrael – reflect different aspects and ideals of Jewish Peoplehood?
What are the core values of Judaism expressed through the collective as refracted through our sacred texts?
How does the value of Peoplehood conflict with or complement other claims of the individual or of the family?
What responsibility do Jews have for one another across social, political, and national lines?
How have vibrant "Diaspora" communities reshaped our understanding of Peoplehood?
How do land and nationhood inform and complicate our picture of the Jewish collective?
What are the central rituals that create and define Peoplehood, and what values do they teach?
What is the relationship between the Jewish People and its sacred texts?
You care about Israel, peoplehood, and vibrant, ethical Jewish communities. We do too.
