First Thursdays
Our Relationship with a Changing Israel
Thursday, October 7, 7:00 pm
Zoom: Meeting ID: 827 7106 0564; Passcode: zG8KeW
Rabbi Josh Weinberg, Executive Director of ARZA (the Association of Reform Zionists of America) and Vice President of the URJ for Israel and Reform Zionism, will be our special guest to discuss "Our Relationship with a Changing Israel: How Changes in Both Communities Impact This Relationship.” There is no doubt that there are significant shifts in the support of Israel within the current American Jewish community. Is it generational? Is it a reaction to the Haredi presence? Is it due to shifts in the internal political affiliations of the American community? How central is Israel to our identity?
We invite you to join Rabbi Weinberg in this important Zoom-only conversation, which is free and open to the community.
