Reconstructionist Values, Covenantal Community and War in the Middle East

In preparation for Reconstructing Judaism’s December 15 movement-wide virtual convening (https://www.reconstructingjudaism.org/event/all-of-the-people-israel-are-responsible-for-one-another-reconstructionist-values-that-shape-our-relationships-with-israelis-and-palestinians/), Rabbi Elliott Tepperman and Rabbi Rachel Weiss join Rabbi Deborah Waxman for a deeply thoughtful and nuanced conversation about the difficult and rewarding work of maintaining unity within Jewish communities that sometimes have diverse views on Israel and Palestine and the War in Gaza. Their reflections on how to cultivate spaces of growth, respect and accountability within the synagogue offer a blueprint for creating Jewish communities that are there for us during moments of joy and celebration as well as times of mourning and crisis.
