The Shalom Hartman Institute iEngage Series Presents
Jewish Values and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
The Video Lecture Series, featuring Rabbi Donniel Hartman, explores one of the most divisive issues affecting the Jewish people today. This program, titled
Compromise
, examines the ways in which our tradition views the idea of compromise, its relationship toward justice, the way it interacts with self-preservation, and how it shapes political and moral perspectives on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Described by critics as a thinker whose thoughts, observations, and analysis of Israeli society are radical and refreshing, Rabbi Donniel Hartman’s observations are especially relevant to the current debate on the status of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Following the video lecture, Rabbi Joel Levine will moderate a lively discussion.

The vast majority of adults want to remain in their homes and neighborhoods as they get older, but sometimes this takes a supportive community. ChaiVillageLA is a vibrant, multi-synagogue, multi-generational community that enables congregants to age in place in their own homes by providing assistance to one another and enriching each other’s lives, as part of a self-governing village supported by Jewish values.
