Rav Yosef and BDJ’s Israel Book Club invite you to join in a thoughtful conversation about how the complexities of Israeli society have manifested in the current health crisis. We’ll use as our springboard two short essays (and a response to one of them) discussing the respective situations of the Haredi community and of the Arab-Israeli community over the past months. As is true for all our community conversations, all perspectives and opinions are eagerly welcomed. The sole outcome we seek is greater wisdom than we had before we started.
