The May 2021 conflict erupting in Jerusalem and culminating in Israel's military operation in Gaza, Guardian of the Walls, again rocked the foundations of Jewish and pro-Israel positioning in the progressive movement. But for those who identify as Progressive and Pro Israel, this was only the most recent incident that brought for many to the front the growing question whether these parts of our identity can coexist in harmony or whether our progressive spaces could accept our dual identity.

Columbia/Barnard Hillel is inviting you to take a deep dive into these questions of identity and community. This group will explore difficult personal questions and identify as a collective how we want to move forward.

The Identity Crisis Fellowship will meet on either Tuesdays or Thursdays, starting the first week of February. We will meet 8 times (through March).

** Deadline for registration is the last week of January 2022 **

If you would like any more information, please email Noa, Director of Israel Engagement at nk2883@columbia.edu

*If participating in a fellowship would prohibit you from taking on needed work and income, please reach out to Shana Zionts (shana@hillel.columbia.edu) in order to receive a small stipend for your participation.
