JPPI's 2017 Structured Jewish World Dialogue   Jerusalem and the Jewish People: Unity and Division   Project Heads: Shmuel Rosner and John Ruskay Contributors: Noah Slepkov and Chaya Ekstein Editors: Rami Tal and Barry Geltman

JPPI’s 2017 Global Jewish Dialogue on Jerusalem and the Jewish People offers data that explains why the Jewish world uses the word “betrayal” in reaction to recent Israeli government decisions freezing the Kotel compromise and initiating a new law on conversion

This year's Dialogue Process marks the third year that JPPI has been building a structure for a systematic discourse on issues that are at the core of the collective interests of the Jewish people globally.

 

This JPPI special report brings Diaspora input on the character of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state into an important initiative of Israel’s Ministry of Justice. The goal is to consider legislation on Israel’s Jewish and democratic nature at a time when different ideological groups within Israel hold conflicting views of how these components should be prioritized.
