SUMMARY:Kaplen JCC on the Palisades: Next Up- When the Golden Age Ends: A Jewish Future Reimagined
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a thought-provoking and timely conversation as NEXT UP welcomes two leading voices in contemporary Jewish thought: Dr. Mijal Bitton, scholar and communal leader, and Sarah Hurwitz, former Chief Speechwriter for First Lady Michelle Obama and bestselling author of Here All Along.\nMore than two years after October 7, American Jews are still grappling with a profound rupture in identity, security, and belonging. The question is no longer whether things have changed — but how we navigate what comes next.\nIn this unforgettable discussion, our speakers will explore:\n\nHow Jews should understand and engage with political power when communal influence feels diminished\nWhere to draw boundaries in a broad, diverse Jewish tent — and how to respond to painful fractures\nHow to rebuild coalitions in a landscape where former alliances no longer hold\nWhat it means to prepare the next generation for a more uncertain Jewish future without losing hope\nHow the stories we’ve long told ourselves about American Jewish success must evolve\nHow to face the costs of our convictions while still imagining an aspirational, resilient future\n\nGrounded, honest, and forward-looking, this program invites us to reflect on who we are now — and who we must become.\nJoin us as we engage with the critical questions shaping Jewish life and Jewish peoplehood today.\nWednesday, January 28\nTaub Auditorium\nDoors open: 7:30 PM\nEvent starts: 8:00 PM\n
