What does it mean for Israel to be a Jewish state?” Discussion will explore the tension between Israel as a Jewish state versus Israel as a democratic state. To what extent should Israel incorporate Orthodox Judaism into its legal and cultural framework? Can Israel give preferential treatment to Jews and accommodate the rights of its Arab minority? What does “Post Zionism” mean and who is promoting it?
