In this session we explore the other central feature of the Jewish story, the Covenant of Becoming, in which Jews are defined by what they do. In this mission-based, aspirational Jewishness, identity is shaped around shared beliefs and practices.

This session is part of a global online course exploring the relationship between Israel and World Jewry through the iEngage series Together & Apart: The Future of Jewish Peoplehood.
