Join us for an in-depth conversation with Itamar Kremer, an educator, social entrepreneur, and leading voice on Jewish peoplehood, civic responsibility, and liberal democratic values in Israel.

In this public conversation, we will explore a central question for our time:

What does it take for Israel to be both Jewish and democratic, and how can we build liberal partnership in ways that truly matter?

Kremer brings decades of experience leading educational initiatives, shaping public engagement, and fostering inclusive Jewish identity. He will share his thinking on some of the most pressing questions facing Israeli society today, with a particular focus on public education as a key arena for shaping Israel’s democratic and humanistic future.

 Itamar will speak about his work in Israel’s public education system, his vision for nurturing pluralistic values, and the role Jewish communities abroad can play as meaningful partners in this work.

This conversation also takes place in the context of Itamar’s upcoming new book, which is expected to be published in English.

As he prepares for its release, Itamar is intentionally seeking to meet with Jewish communities outside of Israel — to listen, to learn what is occupying them at this moment, and to share how he understands mutual partnership between Israel and the Jewish world today. This evening is part of that listening journey.

The event is designed for community members, educators, and leaders who are committed to thoughtful engagement with questions of identity, democracy, and shared values. Whether you are deeply involved in Jewish communal life or simply seeking meaningful dialogue about Israel’s future, this conversation offers both depth and inspiration.

We look forward to welcoming you to a rich evening of learning and dialogue.
