A Guide for the Curious, Confused and Conflicted

Stonehill Auditorium - Mandel JCC



Beyond the Book: Conversation & Discovery

to follow in the Mandel Community Room


The Prism Project invites you to a special book talk with Daniel Sokatch, CEO of the New Israel Fund and author of the newly revised and updated edition of Can We Talk About Israel? A Guide for the Curious, Confused and Conflicted — now including a powerful new Part III: October 7 and Its Aftermath.


Presented as part of the Mandel JCC Cleveland Jewish Book Festival, this event offers an opportunity to hear from one of today’s most thoughtful and compassionate voices on Israel, identity, and belonging.


Following the talk, join us for Beyond the Book: Conversation & Discovery, a Prism Project program to reflect together on what we’re learning, how Jewish Cleveland is evolving, and how we might imagine our shared future.
