What you’ll learn

Where does today’s young Jew fit in on college campus? Today, it is increasingly challenging to have a real relationship with Israel while on campus. The many Jewish students who identify as progressive are wondering how to reconcile their progressive worldview while also being proud Zionists. In today’s political climate, they wonder how to be honest about Israel’s challenges yet deeply connected to the Jewish State. How can we better prepare our students for life on campus and beyond? What do educators need to know? Join OpenDor Media’s Noam Weissman in conversation with Zioness Founder and Executive Director Amanda Berman, who is a leading voice in these areas. 

What we’ll tackle

  • How are Israel and pro-Israel supporters viewed on campus?
  • What do we mean by pro-Israel and Zionist? What is the difference between the two?
  • Are Jews seen as powerful or powerless, as oppressors or the oppressed?
  • Should Jews be considered a minority in the 21st century?
  • Tips for preparing high school students for the reality on campus.
