Aspen Jewish Conversations: What’s the Next Golden Age for American Jews?

Listen to a special live event held at Aspen Jewish Congregation on August 6, 2025. For decades, American Jews enjoyed unprecedented safety, success, and cultural influence. But beneath that prosperity, many became disconnected from Jewish tradition and meaning. Was that truly a golden age, or just the foundation for what could come next? This session reckons with the story of Jewish life in America and asks what a deeper, more meaningful era might look like.This conversation features The Atlantic's Franklin Foer, spiritual leader and scholar Mijal Bitton, and Senior Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch of the Stephen Wise Free SynagogueChutzpod will be back with new episodes September 17th!
