The Thorny Question of Religion and State in Israel

Join Rabbi Dr. Danny Schiff for bagels and coffee, and then explore complicated questions about how religion and the state intertwine in Israel.

• Should Israel have a legal separation between religion and state?

• Or should Jewish law have a role to play in Israel’s legislation?

In this session, we will consider the place of traditional Jewish law in a modern Jewish state.

Rabbi Dr. Danny Schiff is the Gefsky Community Scholar, endowed by the H. Arnold and Adrien B. Gefsky Endowment Fund of the Federation’s Jewish Community Foundation.
