Jewish Peoplehood -- A Unity of Opposites

Date: Thursday, October 22

The Jewish people are dispersed throughout the world, speak different languages, uphold diverse traditions (or none at all), educate their children in different ways, and interpret their Jewish identity upon a wide spectrum. Despite these vast differences, how can we maintain a Jewish collective as one nation and who should this important task fall upon?
