This political moment may cause American Jews to ask: “Where have we seen this before?”

In this episode recorded live in NYC, Yehuda Kurtzer challenges the impulse to reach backwards for old frameworks to describe our current situation, and instead offers a vision for a new era in American-Jewish
politics – one shaped by a culture of compromise and defined by an embrace of kindness.
