Room 13
Jewish Quest is a space for Jews to discover new dimensions of Jewish thinking and life. We ask: should denominations survive? What do they mean? Do labels matter? Do we move between movements? Are theological or halachic (Jewish legal) underpinnings still relevant? Our panel is challenged as to what it takes to make our Judaism compelling and meaningful.
Room 16
Jews equal less than 2% of the United States' population but account for an average of 60% of hate-crime victims. What accounts for such wildly disproportionate victimization? Based on the New York City Police Department's hate-crime data, this study advances a 'dual-strand theory of antisemitism' to account for aggrandizement or demonization of Jews that cause disproportionate victimization and denied victimhood.
Room 15
Suitable for everyone, from complete beginners to full-time professional writers, this workshop will take you from the impulse to tell stories, through some initial prompts and inspirations, giving you space to create and tell your own stories in the written form.
