Divisiveness and polarisation threaten the unity of world Jewry. We must create an agenda for the future of the Jewish people despite our religious and political differences. But how do we accomplish this with the Jewish community dividing itself into different streams of Judaism and secularism, and its myriad of views about what the political solutions should be?
Join New Israel Fund together with Middlesex New Synagogue, Northwood and Pinner Liberal Synagogue, Kol Chai Synagogue and Harrow and Wembley Progressive Synagogue to discuss what the future holds for the Jewish people.
