Heading to the Polls: American Jewish Civics in a Post-October 7 World
All events in seriesAcross the political and religious spectrum, American Jews have felt deeply unsettled by events in Israel and America. Like all Americans, we are affected by the all-time high levels of polarization pervading this contentious presidential election. Simultaneously, since the Hamas attack on October 7 and throughout the ensuing months of war, we have been concerned about Israel and rising anti-Zionism and antisemitism in America.
Join Shalom Hartman Institute scholars Yehuda Kurtzer, Elana Stein Hain, and Tamara Mann Tweel for a three-part series exploring the implications of this defining moment on American Jewish civic identity.
