What is the morality of war? Of occupation? Is a two-state solution
viable? Can Israel survive as a “Jewish and democratic” state? What is
our task as a “light unto the nations” in a Middle East roiled by
conflict? The Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem houses some of the
best minds in Israel. Through participation in this interactive program
of video, text study and discussion, we can share the latest and most
relevant issues facing the sovereign state of Israel and the Jewish
people as we move forward in the 21st century.
