BLOGGING JEWISH IN DUTCHESS
Is speaking up for our convictions even when it means confronting friends being impulsive? Is intellectual Humility the same as non-intervention? These are good question with no easy – nor unique – answers. I can only offer mine, and encourage you to express yours. If there is one complex issue facing now the Organized Jewish Community and all those American Jews who care about Israel it is the upcoming Presbyterian Convention and the proposed Israel Divestment Resolution on the Agenda.
