What ails American Judaism? With Franklin Foer and Sarah Hurwitz
During times of war, when fear and self-preservation are front of mind, how do we make room for ethics? Claire Sufrin discusses the importance of morality in the Jewish tradition.

The future of American Judaism is uncertain, some even might say at risk. In this special episode, recorded live at the Jewish Funders Network Conference in Nashville, Yehuda Kurtzer, Franklin Foer, and Sarah Hurwitz engage in a dynamic discussion about what ails American Judaism, why we fear change, and what we want to strengthen and preserve for the future.
This live Identity/Crisis episode was made possible by Schusterman Family Philanthropies, Crown Family Philanthropies and the Jim Joseph Foundation, featuring theme music by SoCalled and additional music by Distant Cousins.
