J Street: Processing how the Jewish community talks to each other about Israel

A conversation with Rabbi Sharon Brous and Nancy K. Kaufman as they explore the question of how to build an “and” narrative when talking about rights and lives when Israel is in crisis. Did the extremes of being either pro-Israel or pro-Palestinian represent fissures about Israel already present or has this degree of division widened even more? How can we develop and further narratives about Israel that allow for being concerned about Israeli lives and Palestinian lives? How should the Jewish community move forward now? This conversation will be moderated by Harry Reis.
