Join us for a timely conversation about the evolving relationship between Black and Jewish communities in America. The iconic 1965 image of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel walking alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. symbolizes a historic alliance rooted in shared commitments to civil rights and justice — but the story is far more complex.
A panel of leading voices — including CNN’s Van Jones, writer and cultural commentator Shamar Hill, Jewish thought leader Mijal Bitton, bestselling author Abigail Pogrebin, Tony Award-winner Ari’el Stachel, and Share Our America’s Janille Hill— will bring a range of lived experiences and perspectives to this conversation. Together, they’ll explore how the Black–Jewish alliance has shifted over time, why renewed collaboration is urgently needed today, and what practical steps can strengthen understanding and solidarity, with a particular focus on New York City.
Join us for an open, honest, and forward-looking dialogue about what it will take to bridge divides and build a stronger future together.
