No matter who wins this historic election, the new administration will face huge challenges. Can the country be unified or does more division or even chaos lie ahead? What do the election results portend for U.S. Middle East policy, the U.S.-Israel-Palestine relationship and the Israel-Diaspora relationship?
Featuring Jodi Rudoren, Editor-in-chief of the Forward with guest host Rabbi Steven Garten, Rabbi Emeritus of Temple Israel Ottawa, where he served for 19 years as Senior Rabbi.
