SUMMARY:Z3 @ Cincinnati
DESCRIPTION:The Z3 Conference brings Jews from across the political and religious spectrum\ntogether to dialogue about Israel\, the diaspora\, identity\, and the future of\nJewish life. It’s a gathering where unity is found by working together through\nchallenging discourse\, not by avoiding it. \nZ3 @ Cincinnati brings the spirit of the national Z3 Conference to our\ncommunity. The Z3 Conference is where Jews from across the political and\nreligious spectrum come together to have real conversations about Israel\,\nZionism\, power\, identity\, and the future of Jewish life. Z3 @ Cincinnati is\nour local version. Built by the Mayerson JCC and the Jewish Federation of\nCincinnati\, this event reflects the voices\, questions\, and realities of Jewish\nlife in Cincinnati. Together\, we’re creating a space for bold conversation\,\nhonest listening\, and staying in the room when it’s difficult. \n**What to expect at Z3 @ Cincinnati:** \n  * Hear Omer Shem Tov’s inspirational story of resilience and positivity as an act of resistance.\n  * Learn from thought leaders such as Elior Levy (Israeli TV reporter)\, Dr. Muli Peleg (University of Cincinnati)\, Tzach Shmuely (Community Shliach)\, Charlie Covit (current Harvard Student)\, Shayna Kling (Cincinnatian who works at University of Miami (FL) Hillel)\, and Shanie Reichman (Israel Policy Forum).\n  * Shop in our shuk (market) of handmade products from Israel.\n  * See how the Z3 came to be a visionary movement for the next chapter of Israel and Jewish Peoplehood.\n  * Participate in the global conversation of what the Jewish future looks like. \n**Full Schedule of Events:** \nRegistration will open at 1:30pm\, and it will be open all day. You will\nreceive a Z3 lanyard with a nametag\, and you must keep it on at all times in\nthe building for security purposes. \nWe would love for participants to join us all afternoon! However\, we get that\nSundays are busy! So\, here’s a bit of the schedule:\n  * 2 – 3:30pm – We all come together to kick off our Z3.\n  * 3:45 – 4:45pm – Go to the breakout sessions of your choice: _Is a Two-State Solution Still Possible? Insights from a Conflict Analysis expert and Palestinian Affairs reporter_  OR _Why Millennials and Gen Z See Division in American Jewish Communities—and What It Will Take to Move Forward Together._\n  * 4:45 – 5:30pm – Shop in our shuk (market) or enjoy lite bites by Rotem (kosher dairy) and a wine bar\n  * 5:30 – 7pm – We’ll come together for a powerful close to our day\n  * The shuk and community art project will be open all day if you need a break from sessions. \nZ3 Project is an initiative of the Oshman Family JCC. Z3 is a registered\ntrademark. \nThis event is part of our Modern Israeli Holiday observances.

SUMMARY:Jewish Values & the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict - Session #8 | Living with Competing Values
DESCRIPTION:_Jewish Values & the Israeli–Palestinian Conflict_ is an 8-session Sunday\nmorning learning series rooted in curriculum from the Shalom Hartman\nInstitute. For decades\, Israel served as a unifying symbol across the global\nJewish community—but in recent years\, and especially following the events of\nOctober 7\, 2023\, it has become a source of pain\, tension\, and deep\ndisagreement. \nThis course aims to foster a renewed sense of shared peoplehood by exploring\nthe values that shape diverse Jewish perspectives on Israel and the\nIsraeli–Palestinian conflict. Together\, we will engage with themes such as\njustice\, security\, dignity\, peoplehood\, and peace. Rather than advocating a\nsingle political stance\, we will cultivate space for respectful dialogue\,\nstrengthening our ability to learn from one another\, stay connected across\ndifferences\, and hold complexity with honesty and care. \n**Registration requested. Sessions take place at Wise Center.** \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/14029
