Get Enlightened

Dialogues and Public Affairs:  Jews and the communities with which they live engage in frank and humane discussions on contemporary issues and ideas.

Draft Mission Statement -  "We seek to connect through dialogue to the many civic and cultural identities of Jews and the communities with which they live. We create frank encounters of thinkers and doers who respond to pressing local, national, and international concerns of history and the current day. We provide a forum in which people of good faith with strongly opposing views engage in humane conversation and interactive dialogue.  Our popular Embassy Nights Series enhances Jewish engagement as world citizens through culture and conversation in visits with the international community."
