Room 2
What is the unique perspective that Judaism brings and how can that be implemented to change the world? This session will not focus on the Jewish nation as a world entity, but rather on the Jewish mission in the world, using one example to illustrate how this might be done and inviting participants to add their own experiences.

Discover what makes Judaism unique in its view of the world to come and how it compares to other cultures around the world.
