Wednesday, November 13 at 12:00 p.m.

Join the CMI Book Club as Corey Stone facilitates a discussion about our next book choice, “Who Are the Jews and Who Can We Become" by Donniel Hartman. Who Are the Jews—And Who Can We Become? tackles perhaps the most urgent question facing the Jewish people today: Given unprecedented denominational tribalism, how can we Jews speak of ourselves in collective terms?

 Crucially, the way each of us tells our “shared” story is putting our collective identity at risk, Donniel Hartman argues. We need a new story, built on Judaism’s foundations and poised to inspire a majority of Jews to listen, discuss, and retell it. This book is that story.
