A Zionism for the Future: Discussion with Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller
Must Jewish nationalism display the zealotry and racism we see from extremists? Does Israel have resources to become a different kind of nationalism? Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller mines earlier generations of thinkers who believed that Judaism provided the framework to resist chauvinism and to build a moderate, inclusive, peace-seeking religious Zionism. We will hold two discussions, please join us for either or both. Light refreshments will be provided. RSVP here
