\nA number of internal polarization processes have surfaced in Israel and the Diaspora
\nover the past year.<\/p>\n

They are influenced in different ways by parallel political schisms
\ntaking place in American and Israeli society. In certain areas Israeli and Diaspora Jews
\nmay be heading in different directions, and expectations should be re-examined. The
\npolitical system in Israel and the Jewish communal system in the Diaspora are supposed
\nto facilitate frameworks that can contain a variety of opinions. Traditionally, this has been
\naccomplished through mutual respect and a sense of unity, and through a commitment
\nto certain \u201crules of the game\u201d that allow us to be, at once, \u201cdifferent\u201d and \u201cunified.\u201d
\nCoexistence through the careful management of the complexities of human reality
\n— which doesn\u2019t have and doesn\u2019t require full consensus on every issue — offers
\nexpression to the pluralistic spirit of a healthy society.<\/p>\n

Are these current polarizing processes so extreme that they threaten our
\n\u201ctogetherness\u201d? Do they create pressures too weighty for our sense of \u201cmutual
\nresponsibility\u201d? How can we mitigate and neutralize this danger threatening the
\ninternal cohesion of the Jewish people and its pluralistic spirit: in Israel, the Diaspora,
\nand the interwoven connections between the two?<\/p>\n

This is the framework for our brainstorming conference this year, which concludes
\na series of JPPI discussion seminars on Jewish Values and the Use of Force in Armed
\nConflict held throughout the Jewish world.<\/p>\n
