Negotiating Spirituality and Reconciling Identity: 
 a workshop for Jewish students 

Wednesday, September 25th 
7 p.m. – 9 p.m. 
Women’s Center, Hampshire College 

During this time of armed conflict in Israel/Palestine there is also tension 
and conflict within Jewish communities. Young Jewish people are struggling to 
negotiate their own feelings about being Jewish during this time, about the 
issues surrounding the Middle East, about their family background, and their 
spiritual, cultural, and historical identities. Many of us feel as if we must 
choose between our politics and our spirituality, or our family’s religious 
identity and our own. 

Negotiating Spirituality and Reconciling Identity: a workshop for Jewish 
students brings local and national Jewish activists together with students to 
talk about their work, and their own journey being Jewish peace activists. This 
is not a lecture, debate, or academic panel, but rather a space for us to have 
a dialogue about our different politics as young Jewish people and where to go 
with them.
