How Do We Talk About Israel in 2026?
Rabbi Michael Marmur, Ph.D., Professor of Jewish Theology
There is more disagreement about Israel than ever before 鈥 about its legitimacy, its significance, its prospects and its potential. On this Israeli Independence Day, we consider some ways in which Israel can be imagined and argued over in our day. Drawing on ideas from his recent work Living the Letters, Rabbi Michael Marmur suggests some approaches to Israel offering something beyond the apologetic and the apocalyptic.
