Sneak Peak of the “Aspiration” Issue – with Bret Stephens and Rabbi David Wolpe

Tomorrow, we launch our second issue on Aspiration —devoted to audacious ideas for a thriving Jewish future. Four years ago, when we published our first issue, the world was a very different place.

Paradoxically, it requires more realism and more ambition.” So here we are, returning with new questions: Is the Jewish world taking enough risks? Has American Jewish life become too convenient?
