Abstract:

Today the global Jewish community is confronting many crises simultaneously: terror in Israel, resurgent anti-Semitism, escalating Jewish hunger, and a Jewish population in decline. Yet, the Jewish world has never been more prepared to meet these challenges. We must have the courage to recognize just how great the challenges are and to act in time.
