Judaism and Democracy: Do We Need One to Sustain the Other?

January 12 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

As American Jews, we have, until recently, taken democracy, and our place in American life, for granted.  Only now are we learning how fragile, and how interwoven, these are.

Democracy in Israel, too, is faltering, demonstrating how high the stakes are when power is concentrated in the hands of individuals who feel no responsibility to the larger good.

This panel, recorded by the The Mordecai M. Kaplan Center for Jewish Peoplehood, addresses how, and why, democracy is central to Reconstructionist Judaism; why it requires broad coalitions across differences, and how we grow and sustain these.

Following the recording we will have a facilitated discussion, permitting space for each of us to share fears, hopes, and strategies.

Please RSVP here by Wednesday, Jan. 8th. This will be a multi-access program. To access it via zoom, go here.

Co-Sponsors:
Israel/Palestine Working Group
