About this event
A half day of learning and discussion with Rabbi Andrue Kahn, executive director of the American Council for Judaism (ACJ).
“What Is Judaism Beyond Nationalism?” Rabbi Kahn traces how contemporary Jewish American identities, cultures, and practices are rooted in histories of non- and anti-Zionism, from the origins of the Reform movement to the ACJ’s founding and its present-day revival: a vision of a diasporic Judaism rooted in ethics, tradition, and community that does not need a connection to a state to be whole.
“Looking Back, Looking Forward.” A roundtable of local rabbis on what diasporic Judaism looks like in practice today, and how conversations around Zionism and Israel-Palestine are playing out in their communities and from their bimahs.
This event is co-sponsored by Jewish Voice for Peace – DC Metro, IfNotNow DC, Montgomery County Jewish Collective, the American Council for Judaism, and the Abdul Aziz Said Chair in International Peace and Conflict Resolution at American University.
