via Zoom
Since the Hamas massacre and the Gaza war, Jews have been caught in a loop: condemned as victimizers even as they see themselves as the victims. Join Touro Talks host and Touro president, Dr. Alan Kadish, with guest best-selling author, Yossi Klein Halevi, as they talk about what it means to be a people that has regained power but is still under existential threat. How can Jews navigate power and vulnerability? And what needs to change in the Jewish psyche to help the community better cope with the threats facing the Jewish world today?
