Sneak Peak of the “Aspiration” Issue – with Bret Stephens and Rabbi David Wolpe
About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges and aspirations of the Jewish community in light of recent events, featuring insights from Bret Stephens and Rabbi David Wolpe.
Tomorrow, we launch our second issue on Aspiration —devoted to audacious ideas for a thriving Jewish future. Four years ago, when we published our first issue, the world was a very different place. In his editor’s note, Bret Stephens writes: “Jewish aspiration after October 7 is a different story. Paradoxically, it requires more realism and more ambition.” So here we are, returning with new questions: Is the Jewish world taking enough risks? Has American Jewish life become too convenient? Should we, indeed, stop fighting antisemitism and instead fight Jewish complacency? And did Bret go too far when he called for the dismantling of the ADL?Join Editor-in-Chief Bret Stephens and Rabbi David Wolpe for a wide-ranging SAPIR Conversation on these questions and more.
