Speech Topics

Israel: The Nation State of the Jewish People

What must change in Israel and in the Diaspora to ensure the validity of this claim.

The Five-Legged Table

Being Jewish is like having a 5 legged table: There are 5 components, or "legs" that combine to make up a person's Jewish identity; Memory, Family, Covenant, Israel and Hebrew. Is it possible to affirm Jewish unity while celebrating the Jewish people's lack of uniformity?

The Challenges of the New Jewish Family

Will the future of the Jewish people be determined by who our parents were, or by who our children will be? This talk deals with issues of intermarriage and addresses "Does intermarriage necessarily have to be assimilation?", recognizing that intermarriage has become a fact of life in the North American Jewish community.

Hillel & Shamai: Jewish Education and Jewish Life in the 21st Century

Differing approaches to Jewish education and Jewish life in the 21st century, through the lens of Hillel & Shamai.

Making Sense of Being Jewish

An attempt to understand issues of Jewish identity in our times against the backdrop of ghetto Jews encountering modernity. Despite the fact that Jews lived in ghettos waiting for the Messiah, what eventually did come was modernity. This had an unparalleled impact on Jewish life, and lies at the core of every political, ideological, and religious dispute in the Jewish world today.
