In July, the journalist and political commentator Peter Beinart published an essay in Jewish Currents, where the long-time liberal Zionist explained why he no longer believes in a Jewish state (an abridged version appeared in the New York Times). Beinart’s essay produced a lively, and at times acrimonious, debate about Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, and the two- vs. one-state solutions. In this conversation, Beinart will address questions from the audience about his involved position and the future of Israel.  For the link to join the event, follow Jewish Studies on Facebook at http://facebook.com/cofcjwst
