SUMMARY:Israel-Palestine Virtual Symposium - Spring 2026
DESCRIPTION:7th ANNUAL PARTNERS’ ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN VIRTUAL SYMPOSIUM\nISRAEL IN MORAL CRISIS\nSUNDAY\, June 7th\n11am & 1:30pm EST\nONLINE\n  \nPartners For Progressive Israel announce the seventh annual Israel-Palestine Virtual Symposium: Israel in Moral Crisis. We invite you to join us as we reckon together with both our deepest-held values as Jews and progressives\, alongside the reality of ongoing war in Israel and the broader Middle East\, the destruction of Gaza\, and increasing state and settler violence in the West Bank. \nDuring one Sunday in June\, Symposium participants will hear from and engage in dialogue with Israelis and Palestinians whose work bolsters a progressive vision of the future for Palestinians and Israelis alike\, even in the midst of a dark reality. We invite you to join us to move beyond the headlines and “hot takes” into intimate off-the-record conversations with leading thinkers\, activists\, and leaders in the Land. \nSymposium members will have the opportunity\, on camera\, to question presenters and\, following their departure from the call\, to spend a final 30 minutes dedicated to a group debriefing. \nSession A (11am EDT): “Forces for Political Change – Looking Ahead to Elections” \n\nAs we anticipate Israeli elections in the coming months\, we take a deeper dive into Israeli Knesset politics. Join us for a robust discussion with experts on polling\, newly emerging political voices\, and where power is likely to be built to create meaningful political change in Israel.\nConfirmed Speakers Include:\n\nRabbi Avi Dabush\, CEO of Rabbis for Human Rights and member of HaDemocratim\, (“The Democrats”\, a union of Labor and Meretz)\nDr. Laura Wharton\, a member of Jerusalem’s City Council as representative of HaDemocratim and adjunct lecturer in political science at Hebrew University\n\n\n\nSession B (1:30pm EDT): “The Moral Challenges of State Power” \n\nWhat happens when our moral commitments as a Jewish community appear to sit at odds with the uses (and abuses) of state power in Israel today? Join us for an in-depth exploration with leading Jewish thinkers of new paradigms for tackling this decades-old question\, especially in light of recent wars\, the current Israeli government\, and the destruction of Gaza.\nConfirmed Speakers Include:\n\nRabbanit Leah Shakdiel\, Orthodox rabbi\, scholar\, and teacher of Torah and democracy\nRabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie\, social activist and storyteller\, writer and teacher\, and the Co-Founding Spiritual Leader of the Lab/Shul community in NYC.\n\n\n\nLearn More & Register >
