JPPI’s Jewish World Dialogue aims to aggregate the views of Jewish leadership on topics of concern to the Jewish people in the Diaspora and Israel. To this end, it asks that Jewish organizations and federations convene focus groups in which Jewish leadership can discuss these issues.
Topics have included The Impact of Antisemitism on Jewish Identity and the State of Israel, The Diaspora and the Nation-State Law, among others. Each year, the project reaches hundreds of participants and conducts around 20 sessions in North America, Europe, South Africa and Australia. Participants complete a questionnaire and engage in small-group discussions where they share their intimate thoughts and feelings. In recent years, we have attempted to include the greatest possible age range while placing special emphasis on young people.
