Elana Stein Hain
What is the Torah that can inspire a more universalistic vision of religious Zionism? What role should interfaith work play in shaping this vision? Elana Stein Hain, Rosh Beit Midrash and Senior Fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute, sits down with Yakov Nagen, Director of Ohr Torah Stone’s Blickle Institute for Interfaith Dialogue and Beit Midrash for Judaism and Humanity, to discuss his new book and his activism on these issues.

In the current Israeli government, religious Zionism is playing an ultra-nationalist and right-wing role. Is this what religious Zionism has to be? In her series Reclaiming a Religious Zionism that Embraces Darkhei Shalom (Paths of Peace), Elana Stein Hain has conversations with Israeli thought leader-activists who are working toward a different vision of religion and of religious Zionism.
