ABOUT THE EVENT:

What is at stake in bridging the growing divide in our North American Jewish community between people who feel strongly connected to the project of Jewish self-determination in our ancient homeland, A.K.A "Zionism" and the growing movement of Diasporism, that decentralizes the role of Jewish statehood in Jewish life.  How might we bridge this divide? We turn to the wisdom of Rabbi Avraham Isaac HaCohen Kook for guidance.
