3: Thomas L. Friedman and Dov Seidman with Rabbi Joy Levitt

Episode 3 of 76West features Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times writer Thomas L. Friedman and CEO and author Dov Seidman in conversation with the JCC's Executive Director, Rabbi Joy Levitt. The divisive effects of this new political climate and the breakdowns in truth and trust seem beyond what we have previously experienced. When this country is so divided into "us" and "them," the fundamental American value of "We the People" seems to be at risk. How does this happen? What is the impact on our country? And, from their perspectives, what do we who seek "repair" do next in this climate? Presented with the JCC's Joseph Stern Center for Social Responsibility, this talk was recorded before a live audience on November 27, 2017.
