Bridging Identities: On Being LGBTQ, Jewish and Pro-Israel

Explore the following questions with Arthur Slepian, the founder and president of A Wider Bridge (AWB)--a pro-Israel organization that works to deepen the connections between the LGBT communities of Israel and North America.

1) What has been the progress of the LGBTQ community in Israel, and what challenges remain?
2) How can one successfully engage progressive people with Israel at a time when there is so much antagonism towards Israel on the left?
3) How can the LGBTQ communities of Israel and North America learn from and support one another, especially in the aftermath of our own recent elections?
