Judaism versus Jewish Identity Politics: Religion versus Tribalism

Witness historic dialogue between ultra orthodox Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro and Gilad Atzmon, starting May 6th.

Rabbi Shapiro and ex-Jew Gilad Atzmon will meet to discuss hard questions about Judaism, Jewish politics and the meaning of Jewishness.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Two prominent thinkers, the ultra orthodox Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro, and philosopher, Jazz artist and ex-Jew Gilad Atzmon, will meet to discuss hard questions about Judaism, Jewish politics and the meaning of Jewishness.

This unique gathering, the first of its kind, promises to help you unravel the tangled web of secular Jewish politics, right and left.

After the discussion there will be a live Jazz jam session featuring preeminent musicians at every venue possible.

Gilad Atzmon will be visiting many cities all over the US in the next 3 weeks signing a new book he co-wrote with Enzo Apicella (A to Zion- The Definitive Israeli Lexicon- out on May 26th).

Controversy to follow...Books will be available for purchase ahead of publication at the events.
