An election year inspires learning and conversation about our shared future and the society we create and uphold. Together, we will explore the call to leadership, the dimensions of civic duty, and our unity amidst difference. Each section covers four topics and their relationship to our theme, Jewish Voices and Visions for Our Shared Future.
