Israel – The Generational Divide: Reflections on Jewish Generational Conflict

Israel has become a flashpoint not only between groups of American Jews but between parents and children. In this lecture, Dr. Dan Judson will reflect on two recent courses he has taught for parents who are struggling with their childrens’ perspectives on Israel. Dr. Judson will place this generational context in historical context, looking at other moments of generational divide within the Jewish community.
