Kivunim's unique philosophy challenges assumptions long embedded in Jewish education. We will examine the impact on students of a more balanced presentation of Jewish history through a combination of academic and experiential learning. The power and importance of "building world consciousness" within the Jewish framework will be explored. Peter's participation was made possible with generous support from The Covenant Foundation.

Many Diaspora Jews are outraged Israel has rejected a prominent space for egalitarian prayer at the Kotel. Have a respectful - if passionate - conversation with a journalist who agrees with Israel’s Orthodox establishment on this one.

The rabbis declare that “if we are not prophets, we are the children of prophets,” but what does it mean to be a prophet in our (and their!) current moment? We’ll investigate the ways in which our creative acts of interpretation serve as acts of prophecy, and what this means for our relationship with G!d, tradition, and our own insights.
