Explore the big questions of modern Jewish life and their impact on Judaism with Forward editor-In-chief Jane Eisner, as she moderates a panel with two of the American Jewish community’s most prominent leaders and thinkers.
In “Jews In The Modern World: Looking Back, Looking Forward,” Rabbi Shai Held and Rabbi David Ellenson will discuss topics such as God, secularization, the Holocaust, Zionism, American Politics, academic Jewish Studies and more.
