Other Voices of Conscience: Challenging the Status Quo in Israel Today

Other Voices of Conscience: Challenging the Status Quo in Israel Today

“A real democracy is not universal suffrage. Unless there is an ongoing dialogue between the governors and the governed, unless the governed can make their opinions and desires understood, and unless one has accountability on the part of the governing body, there is no true democracy.” -Alice Shalvi, Israeli feminist and activist. Join a dynamic discussion moderated by J.J. Goldberg (Editor-at-large, The Forward), with Rabbi Jill Jacob (Rabbis for Human Rights, NA), Ali Haider (Sikkuy), and Yael Berda (author, human rights lawyer, doctoral candidate at Princeton University), to address the challenges facing Israeli society and Israeli democracy today. Engage in a lively conversation with the panelists about the limits of a Jewish democracy, issues of separation and segregation in Israel, the growing tensions between Jewish and Arab Israelis, and the ever-changing Israel-Diaspora relationship. Light dinner will be served.
