Page 2: PresenTense Introduction

What does the average

student think it means

to “be” Jewish?

think about the average college student -- or any young, ‘desirable’ semi-affiliated Jew that organizations try to reach.

Page 3: PresenTense Introduction

fight ing

&anti-semitism assimilationthey broadcast 2 general messages: be jewish by fighting anti-semitism and assimilation (or put more positively, be proud of being Jewish and marry Jewish).

Page 4: PresenTense Introduction

why?...but

but we don’t enough ask the obvious question: why? why fight the trends? why no go darwin-style into the dark night?

Page 5: PresenTense Introduction

Well, what’s the point of a Jewish state? What’s the point of a Jewish people?

to answer that, we need to consider the most basic questions

Page 6: PresenTense Introduction

what does “jewish” really mean?

and this. let’s do a thought experiment:

Page 7: PresenTense Introduction

a tale of 2 conferences

2 conferences. both met in the same building, a few months apart.the GA - meets to discuss the basic challenges facing Jewry and Israel. Issues of money and security are paramount.the president’s conference - on the other hand - brought together the leaders of google, facebook, yahoo, and 7 nobel laureates to discuss the possibilities for the future. Our tomorrow - issues of technology, medicine, culture, etc. that effect not just the Jews but the world at large. Solutions coming from israel for the good of the globe.

so we have challenges vs possibilitieswhich is more jewish?

Page 8: PresenTense Introduction

in fact, there are 2 approaches to “being” Jewish - internal and external

Page 9: PresenTense Introduction

israel is home to 2 types of zionism

israel is home to 2 types of zionismthis dichotomy is reflected in the 2 historic zionisms (broadly speaking):israel for the sake of jewish security and israel for something greater - as a platform to solve global issues.

survive

Jewry is a social network.

the jewish ppl is social network:nodes, language, culture, even an ‘operating system’we can put it to work to get our ideas, our solutions out there
