Being critical of the status quo is an inherent part of soci
al change – we identify problems in our world that we hope to solve or i
mprove. But free expression of critical views of the Jewish state inside
and outside of Jewish communities often meets with complicated rules agai
nst “airing our dirty laundry.”
Recent events\, such as
the near-revocation of Tony Kushner
s honorary doctorate degree\, have shed light on the tense atmospher
e around the discourse on Israel in the American Jewish community.
Join us for the fourth in a series of highly interactive\, non-per
suasive\, open discussions with a diverse group of people in their 20s and
30s. Followed by a reception.

chase tickets online by Tuesday\, June 28

Hosted by the JCC in Manhattan
