Abstract:

Jewish unity has been fractured both by the rise of a triumphalist Orthodoxy and the increased radicalization of the liberal movements. Jewish peoplehood can be rebuilt by strengthening modern Orthodoxy, cooling the inflammatory rhetoric, recognizing that assimilation is the common problem affecting all Jews, and coming together to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Israel.
