Is There a Future for American Zionism? American Zionism in the Era of the Ethnic State

A hybrid event (in-person and virtual) by Rabbi Mike Feuer

The event was co-sponsored by Temple Chai

About the Event:
Zionism was initially a small element of Jewish life in America, running at times counter to the mainstream. Israel’s independence forced a revolution on American Jews as well, and a new covenant with the state was stuck which placed Zionism at the base of American Jewish life. This class will explore the nature of the relationship between American Jewry and Israel and the role Zionism has played in its evolution. A look at the past and present will serve as a foundation for asking the pressing questions of the future. What lies ahead for Israel and American Jewry, and what role will Zionism play between them?
