Israel and Zionism: Let's discuss Amongst Ourselves
November 9th, 2025
On October 12, 2025, CUJF's Committee Against Antisemitism, hosted Rabbi Michael Uram. He is the first ever chief Jewish learning officer for Jewish federations of North America. Previously, he served as the head of PARDES North America and led Penn Hillel as the executive director and campus Rabbi for 16 years.
Rabbi Uram joined us via zoom, where he presented a brief history on Israel and Zionism. Approximately 30 members of our community attended. Participants had an opportunity to ask questions, but time restrictions did not permit more in-depth discussion. A good foundation was laid for future events to explore community differences and commonalities in regard to current issues related to Israel and Zionism.
