Interfaithing: Can We Talk About Israel?

Join Ari and Anna on a powerful episode of Interfaithing as they tackle one of the most challenging topics for interfaith families: conversations about Israel. Sparked by questions from their Patreon community, the hosts explore how Jewish and non-Jewish partners can discuss the complexities of Israel, especially in the aftermath of October 7, 2023. Topics addressed include: The emotional weight of Israel for Jews and how partners can respectfully broach sensitive topics Historical and theological perspectives on Israel in both Jewish and Christian contexts—from Zionism to Christian Zionism and the role of apocalyptic beliefs The impact of current events on Jewish identity, antisemitism, and family dynamics in interfaith households Navigating justice, nonviolence, and the meaning of peace through interfaith dialogue Why curiosity and open-hearted conversation matter for couples facing difficult issues And MUCH MORE!! Stay curious, and discover how honest discussion can bring families—and faiths—closer together! --- ~ For more insights, become a Patreon supporter at www.patreon.com/interfaithing!! ~ Connect with us via email at [email protected] ~ Like us and Follow us on Facebook and Instagram with the handle @interfaithingpod!! ~ Check out our website at www.interfaithingpod.com for more Interfaithing content!!
