2008 Schedule 884653.indd4653.indd 1 3-1177-0088 4 4:03:30:03:30 P PMM Letter from the Chairs Dear Friends, Welcome to Imagining a More Civil Society: The Summit on the University and the Jewish Community. One year ago a steering committee convened at Hillel’s Kraft Center for Jewish Student Life at Columbia University to begin planning this unique event. We set out not just to catalogue the many positive trends in civil discourse and civic engagement on campus, but to imagine what could be. With the generous support of the Einhorn Family Charitable Trust, this remarkable group of people – leaders of the academy and the Jewish community – developed a program that enables participants to refl ect on who we are and the ideas of others, to discuss and learn from others in an effort to share and integrate our truths, and to act to create greater opportunities for others. As we imagine a more civil society, we will focus deeply on discourse itself and also on activi- ties that foster safe dialogue and productive contributions to society. We will delve into the challenges of creating community, often raising questions without defi nitive solutions. We will demonstrate what we hope to lead on campus: respectful, authentic conversations in which we hold multiple truths simultaneously, listening carefully while articulating our own thoughts and opening ourselves to letting go and learning anew. We will bring back to campus fresh ideas on discourse and civic engagement. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Hillel International Board of Governors Chairman Edgar M. Bronfman, Board of Directors Chairman Julian Sandler, President Wayne Firestone and the leadership of the organization for their support and encouragement. We thank our committee members for their wisdom and counsel. And we thank Summit Director Jeremy Bandler, Hillel Organizational Learning Director Beth Cousens, Summit Associate Rachel Salzman and the Hillel professional team for their long hours and hard work. When the ancient Jewish sage Hillel was asked to distill the essence of Judaism, his response was the foundation of civil society: “What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. The rest is commentary.” Signifi cantly, Hillel added: “Now go and study.” Let us study together. Lawrence S. Bacow David M. Cohen Beatrice S. Mandel President New York, NY Los Angeles, CA Tufts University 2 884653.indd4653.indd 2 3-1177-0088 4 4:03:31:03:31 P PMM Letter from Hillel LeadershipSpeakers Dear Friends, It is our pleasure to welcome you to Imagining a More Civil Society: The Summit on the University and the Jewish Community. We have convened a remarkable group of leaders from academia, the Jewish community and journalism who will no doubt contribute to the advancement of civil society on our campuses and in the community. This Summit was born out of Hillel’s commitment to Jewish tradition and to the contemporary campus. Scholarship and civic engagement, learning and doing, study and social justice, have been inextricably linked throughout Jewish history. In the modern era, the university campus has provided the Jewish community with an intellectual haven and a professional training ground. Hillel has been an integral part of campus life in North America for 85 years and, increasingly, overseas. Hillel prides itself on partnering with universities to help young people of all backgrounds grow into the leader- ship of our communities. As an organization that lives and works on campus, it is our hope that this Summit will not only strengthen our university partnership but will lead to new and unforeseen ways to advance the university campus as a model for civil society. The Summit represents the collaboration of many individuals scattered across North America. We thank our Summit co-chairs, Tufts University President Lawrence S. Bacow, Hillel International Board of Governors Member David M. Cohen, and Vice Chair Executive Committee Beatrice S. Mandel, and their committee members for guiding the Summit planning process. We thank the Hillel professional team, led by Summit Director Jeremy D. Bandler and Hillel Director of Organizational Learning Beth Cousens, who have organized and planned the conference. And we thank David and Cheryl Einhorn, the principals of the Einhorn Family Charitable Trust, who have enabled us to create this Summit and who share our vision for a brighter future for college campuses the world over.

In a moving letter written May 17, 1993, the late Dr. Eliot Stellar had called Penn alumna Judith Rodin “the ideal candidate photo/ for the presidency of Penn, for she is a scholar with great natural leadership abilities....She is a virtual Pied Piper.” Farther along he added, “In my 51 years at Harvard, Brown, Hopkins and Penn Almanac I have never seen a better fit than between Dr. Rodin and Penn.” Reading from that letter as he placed her name in nomination for the presidency, Paul F. Miller, Jr., said that after interviewing the nominee, he had concluded that Eliot Stellar “understates her qualities. She is simply spectacular.” Four trustees seconded Mr. Miller’s nomination, and Penn’s new president—effective July 1—was elected unanimously by hand count of 37 trustees present and a poll of five who participated by conference call. After a standing ovation, Dr. Rodin delivered a short acceptance speech—with the ringing refrain, Penn will lead the way—which brought trustees and observers to their feet again for even more prolonged applause. Dr. Rodin then literally led the way through Blanche Levy Park and up Locust Walk to the Annenberg Center for a gala luncheon.

  • Israel in the Synagogue Dr. Samuel Heilman, Professor of Jewish Studies and Sociology, City University of New York
    Israel in the Synagogue Dr. Samuel Heilman, Professor of Jewish Studies and Sociology, City University of New York Israel in Our Lives is a project sponsored by The CRB Foundation, The Joint Authority for Jewish Zionist Education Department of Jewish Education and Culture in the Diaspora, and The Charles R. Bronfman Centre for the Israel Experience: Mifgashim. In cooperation with Jewish Education Service of North America and Israel Experience, Inc. Israel In Our Lives Online was funded in part through a generous grant from the Joint Program for Jewish Education of the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Ministry of Education and Culture of the State of Israel. The editors would like to thank all the authors, advisors, and consultants of the Israel In Our Lives series— educational leaders who have brought their considerable insights and talents to bear on this project. In addition to those already mentioned in these pages, we extend our appreciation to those who helped in shaping the project concept: Dr. Zvi Bekerman, Gidon Elad, Dr. Cecile Jordan, Rachel Korazim, Clive Lessem, Caren Levine, Dr. Zev Mankowitz, Dr. Eliezer Marcus, & Susan Rodenstein. Part 1 While no one would suggest that the synagogue and Israel are duplicates of one another - and indeed the differences between them are legion - they have in this generation increasingly represented (especially for North American Jewry) two important, parallel symbols of Jewish identity. This is because both are special "places" in which being a Jew constitutes an essential pre-requisite, perhaps even a sine qua non, for affiliation. Additionally, both are places where one expects to find Jews in the overwhelming majority and in charge, where Jewish concerns are paramount, and where Hebrew is spoken.
