Judaism's Role in Democracy: An Election Season Conversation

For centuries Jews have contributed to American democracy, while American democracy has simultaneously contributed significantly to the success of American Jewry.

In a lead-up to the election, David Bryfman has a timely conversation with Aaron Dorfman, founder and executive director of A More Perfect Union: The Jewish Partnership for Democracy. Their profound discussion highlights the importance of Jewish responsibility in the context of democracy, and how Judaism is always aspirational, just like America.

Jewish educators will come away from this episode inspired to instill in their students a sense of civic responsibility and a commitment to strengthening their communities, embracing a deeply rooted Jewish tradition of working to make the world better.
