This issue of Contact explores various ways American Jews are connecting to Israel during a period of ongoing crisis. Andrew Katz, who grew up in America, described why he chooses to live in Israel. Rabbi David Ellenson provides a reminder that solidarity breeds responsibility. Michael Sonnenfeldt discusses the place for dissent in the conversation about Israel, while affirming the necessity of unity as well. Also included are articles by Rabbi Yitz Greenberg, Kellen Kaiser, Michael H. Steinhardt, Andrea Fram Plotkin, Adena K. Berkowitz, Madeleine Brecher, Sarah H. Wendell, and Wayne L. Firestone.
