Abstract:

The author argues that current challenges facing world Jewry must be addressed holistically and systemically. She suggests the creation of an ongoing dialogue based on mutual understanding and an overarching, shared paradigm that deals with the basic, fundamental questions of Jewish identity. She believes this shared paradigm to be based on Israel education and literacy.
