12:30 P.M. - 1:30 P.M.
The conversation will be held on Zoom.
The Jewish population today is almost equally divided between Israel
and the diaspora. While most diaspora Jews stand behind Israel in
principle, relations between the two communities have seen increasing
tensions in the past years.
Many diaspora Jews support the concept of a pluralistic religious
Jewish community, while in Israel only the Orthodox stream of Judaism
is officially recognized. Politically, most American Jews identify as
left-of-center, while Israelis have elected right-wing governments for
the last two decades. In Europe, the identification of Jews and Israel
by the outside world has made the community a primary target for
militant anti-Israel terrorists.
To discuss the status of Israel - Diaspora relations today, we bring
together three of the most important Jewish voices from three
continents: David Harris, Chief Executive Officer of the American
Jewish Committee, Isaac Herzog, Chairman of the Jewish Agency for
Israel and Rabbi Delphine Horvilleur, one of the intellectual leaders
of the French-Jewish community today. The discussion will be moderated
by Center for Israel Studies' Director Michael Brenner.
