  • Aspen Jewish Conversations: How Big Should the Tent Be?
    Sep 10 2025

    Listen to a special live event held at Aspen Jewish Congregation on August 13, 2025.

    In a time of deep division, what does it really mean to belong to the Jewish people? And how do we stay in community when our beliefs, priorities, and red lines conflict? This session draws on the idea of the “big tent” as both a moral aspiration and a real-world challenge, exploring how we navigate differences while maintaining a sense of Jewish peoplehood.

    This conversation features Hebrew College President Rabbi Sharon Cohen Anisfeld, Shalom Hartman Institute President Yehuda Kurtzer, and the Executive Director of the Harvard Hillel Jason Rubenstein.

    Chutzpod will be back with new episodes September 17th! Need advice from Hanna and Shira? Submit your questions to chutzpod@gmail.com.
