If Erica Coleman not overtly political, the methods of engagement frequently had politics just beneath Copy Editor the surface. Engagement meant understanding Israel’s importance to the world Jewish community as well as its right to exist — both in a general sense and in relation to the Yakov Wisniewski events of the day. This often turned engagement into a reactive enterprise — how the commu- Design Director nity could shore up support for this policy or for that war, and how Israel’s actions could best be presented and explained. THE STEINHARDT The reasons for this were understandable. There was a widespread perception of Israel being FOUNDATION under siege and a general sentiment that Diaspora communities could serve as Israel’s ambassa- FOR JEWISH LIFE dors. Moreover, a fear of losing young Jews to waves of anti-Israel agitation spurred campaigns to arm them with Israel’s side of the story. But ultimately, such efforts were a misuse of both Michael H.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20 | 6:00PM CANTOR'S HOME | EAST HAMPTON VISIT WWW.JCOH.ORG/PURIM FOR MORE INFORMATION A MESSAGE FROM RABBI JOSH FRANKLIN The Limits of Discourse: A Conversation about Israel and BDS I have an ongoing debate with a friend and study partner, Rabbi Josh Stanton. It shouldn’t come as a big shocker that rabbis often disagree with one another. In this dialogue, we discuss how to respond to public and political figures when they espouse views radically different than our own. More particularly, those figures who advocate BDS, the movement to Boycotting, Divesting, and Sanctioning of the State of Israel. BDS has taken root in academic institutions, churches, European political circles, and now, yes the American congress. BDS targets the Israeli government, Israeli businesses, banks, Israeli sports teams, and yes, even at times individual Israelis. We might not see completely eye to eye on Israel issues, but more or less, Rabbi Stanton and I are in the same ball park. We both believe that BDS unfairly singles out Israel as a human rights offender; we both feel that BDS is largely motivated by antisemitism (whether conscious or unconscious); and we both worry about the negative impact of BDS throughout the American cultural, educational, and political landscape.

  • What We've Been up To
    ערכים ליברלים ישראל פרוגרסיבית 2020-2021: WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO WHO ARE WE? Ameinu, Hebrew for “Our People,” is a national, multi-generational community of progressive Jews in North America. Recognizing the unbreakable bond between the Jewish people and Israel, as well as the commitment to make our own society better, we mobilize those Jews who seek opportunities to foster social and economic justice both in Israel and in North America. As Zionists, we understand that a secure peace between Israel and its neighbors is essential to the survival of a democratic Jewish state. With this in mind, we build support within the North American Jewish community for a negotiated two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Here is a short report about our most recent activities and programs, for more, please follow us on social media or visit our website: www.ameinu.net. 2020 WORLD ZIONIST CONGRESS - HATIKVAH SLATE Before 2020 even began, we worked with our partners in the U.S. progressive Israel community to construct the Hatikvah Slate. The Slate ran in the 2020 World Zionist Congress elections. From January to March we mobilized thousands of people to vote for our vision of peace and justice, while facing attempts by right wing forces to have our delegation disqualified from the Congress on bogus grounds. Their case was denied and we sent 30 delegates and alternates to the virtual Congress held in October. We formed a left-center coalition to block a power grab by the right-religious bloc of organizations, ensuring a balance in governance within international Zionist bodies.
