How to be a Jew in the Diaspora (Z3 Podcast Ep. 4: Jessica Kirschner)

The Z3 Podcast - A podcast by The Z3 Project

In the latest Z3 Podcast episode, our host and head of Z3 Amitai Fraiman is joined by Rabbi Jessica Kirschner, Executive Director of Hillel at Stanford. In this episode, Jessica discusses the intersection of American individualism and Jewish communal living. She offers a unique take on what Jews in Israel may be lacking by exploring the wisdom of the Diaspora and the benefits of living within a pluralistic society. This discussion opens up new ways of thinking about American Jewry and contests the idea that living in Israel is the ideal way to live an authentic Jewish life.
