What Do We Mean by a 'Big Tent'? with Yehuda Kurtzer
Wednesday, Jun 1st 7:00p to 9:00p
The American Jewish community has long used the metaphor of a “big tent” to convey the idea that it tolerates a broad spectrum of viewpoints on Israel. This concept feels inclusive, but it often functions in the opposite way, as a rigid policing of boundaries that designates some views as outside the range of acceptable communal discourse. Join Yehuda Kurtzer as he explores the challenges and opportunities of ideological pluralism and how we might foster an ethic of inclusion in the Chicago Jewish community. Following the lecture, continue the conversation with Yehuda Kurtzer and Rabbis Michael Siegel, Shoshanah Conover, and David Wolkenfeld, moderated by Jason Rosensweig. This event is presented in partnership with Anshe Emet Synagogue, Temple Sholom of Chicago, and Anshe Sholom B'nai Israel Congregation.
