7:45 PM Presentation: “The Z Word: Israel Without Apology.” What is it about Israel and Zionism that is so troublesome, to so many people? Israel was supposed to be the great Jewish unifier.

Sermon: “American Jews are from Mars; Israeli Jews are from Venus.” You know how siblings can be very different from each other? That’s American Jews and Israel. Why are we so different, and how can we still sit together at the same family table?

1:00 PM – 1:45 PM Presentation: “The Oldest Ism.” Anti-Semitism is alive and well in many places. Why? What is it about the Jews – and Judaism – that arouses so many strong feelings? How does Antisemitism present itself – in subtle and unsubtle ways?

10:30 AM – 11:30 AM Presentation:  “Some Of Our Best Friends” Jewish history is more than “they hated us; they tried to kill us; we won; let’s eat!” In every age, there have been gentiles who have nourished and nurtured Jewish life – and Jewish lives.

About Rabbi Jeffrey Salkin

With the regular appearance of his award-winning blog, “Martini Judaism: for those who want to be shaken and stirred,” published by the Religion News Service, Jeffrey Salkin has risen to the forefront of being one of American Judaism’s most prolific and most-quoted rabbis and thought leaders.

Ever since his first book, Putting God on the Guest List: How to Reclaim The Spiritual Meaning of Your Child’s Bar or Bat Mitzvah (Jewish Lights Publishing), Rabbi Salkin has been known for his writing, teaching and activism. His books are on such subjects as making Jewish ritual meaningful; struggling with the meaning of masculinity in today’s world; interpreting Israel and Zionism to Jews and non-Jews; and the task of reclaiming Judaism’s central role as a takes-no-prisoners, speak-truth-to-power-and-culture religious tradition.

Because of his national reputation as an American Jewish thought leader, the Chautauqua Institution, America’s iconic educational and cultural community, invited Rabbi Salkin to deliver the keynote address for its week on religion, in summer, 2020.

Rabbi Salkin’s essays have appeared in the Washington Post, The Huffington Post, Tablet, Mosaic, Forward, and JTA. He has discussed the American political scene on CNN and the BBC. He has contributed articles to scholarly journals. Several of his books have won national awards.

His colleagues have described him as “courageous,” “always relevant,” and “one of American Judaism’s true public intellectuals.”

Rabbi Salkin serves as the rabbi of Temple Israel in West Palm Beach, Florida. His hobbies include playing guitar, reading voraciously, and consuming vast quantities of coffee.
