The Challenges Facing Jewish Leaders in a Partisan Age: White Paper

Four factors are seriously threatening the effectiveness of today’s and tomorrow’s Jewish leaders. After a series of closed-door convenings and conversations organized by the Shalom Hartman Institute, the gravity and scope of the situation has become clear, as has the need to act.

But what to do about increasingly rancorous partisanship, about an increasingly divisive Israel discourse, about a diminishing silent majority, or about the seductive threats of social media?
In a Courageous Leadership white paper, Yehuda Kurtzer, Naomi Adland, Justus Baird and Gordon Tucker have compiled, analyzed and provided constructive responses to our findings.
