A Wide Tent with Clear Boundaries: Lessons in Jewish Leadership and Peoplehood

David Bryfman engages with Dr. Mijal Bitton, one of today’s leading Jewish scholars and leaders, in an illuminating, nuanced conversation about defining Jewish peoplehood in a time of polarity. Is it better to be inclusive of all beliefs in a community, or to establish clear boundaries and principals? What if it was possible to have both? Mijal’s unique perspective, shaped by her personal background, serves a model for all of us on how much introspection we need to become the best possible educators we can be.  Explore how The Jewish Education Project is reimagining Jewish education in our Strategic Plan. Register for Jewish Futures 2025.Learn more about The Jewish Education Project here.This episode was produced by Miranda Lapides and Rina Cohen Schwarz.
