| Topic: Judaism and Politics in America
An open discussion
Thought starters:
Does Judaism influence your outlook on politics? If so, how?
Is liberalism (in America ) the natural leaning for Jews based on our tradition?
What do "conservative" Jews think about number two and why presumably do they disagree?
The conversation is meant to be open and as forthright as people want it. While it may get heated since we are breaking both rules of conversation among Americans: discussing politics and religion, we should strive for understanding and not agreement.
The goal of the event should not be to sway anyone to any particular political position but to better understand our unique perspectives and look at how Judaism may or may not inform our views.
