The people of Israel, both Jewish and Arab, are undergoing an unforeseen transformation in self-conception–both in relation to the world as well as reconceiving fundamental questions of Jewish & Israeli consciousness. Past political, religious, and social categories have become obsolete after October 7. Part of this process of reconfiguration involves reflection and engagement with ourselves and our history–and seeking out a new language and worldview that is contemporary to our times and needs.

We believe, now it is crucial to work on “internal defense” by engaging with intellectual and spiritual questions that shape our sense of what Israel stands for and what it means to be Jewish and or Israelis (this includes all Arab and non-Jewish inhabitants and citizens). Given the global nature of discourse about the War, we also feel it valuable to engage in discourse with our international community.
