How should American Jews, many of whom are marching in the streets for Jewish values, expect their
communal institutions to participate in the public debate moving forward? President Trump received
only 25 percent of the Jewish vote in 2016, and the majority of American Jews disapprove of his bigotry,
xenophobia and misogyny. In a community that is deeply committed to the concept of democracy
and inclusion, what is the role of the organized American Jewish community in this fraught political
environment? And what is the role of its leadership in continuing to advocate for a two-state solution
when both American and Israeli governments seem to be moving in the opposite direction?
