BECOME ENGAGED: The Challenges of Inter-Generational Israel Conversations

5:00PM - 6:30PM  

 

Tuesday, January 7 | 5:00 PM | Zoom Webinar

Parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, famously disagree about Israel. Our generations talk past one another with deep conviction, emotion, and passion. In the history of these conversations, has there ever been a single instance where one generation convinced the other or one generation changed the other generation’s mind? 

We hear words like "Zionist," "anti-Zionist," "human shields," "genocide," "self-preservation," "settler-colonialism," "hostages," and "humanitarian." There are plenty more.

This question [of Israel] is not theoretical.

It is real. It is personal.

These difficult conversations are shared by countless families.

Join us for an engaging conversation, led by Rabbi Wesley Gardenswartz, about the challenges of inter-generational conversations about Israel.

Rabbi Wesley Gardenswartz is the Senior Rabbi of Temple Emanuel in

Newton, Massachusetts, a 1500-family Conservative congregation

where he has worked for 28 years. 

He and his wife have four children with whom they do not see eye to eye on Israel.
