Full Afternoon Plenary
Afternoon Plenary: Nationalism, Religion, and Social Democracy - Religious Identity in Relation to Israel Israel was founded as a national homeland for the Jewish people. Is support of Israel a part of Jewish religious identity? Is commitment to democratic values a part of one’s religious identity, or separate from it? What are the risks of making religious identity contingent on a particular national-political reality? What are the dangers of attributing religious significance to a state and its institutions? In light of recent events, is it time for a course correction?
