How to be a Jew in the Diaspora (Z3 Podcast Ep. 4: Jessica Kirschner)

In the latest Z3 Podcast episode, our host and head of Z3 Amitai Fraiman is joined by Rabbi Jessica Kirschner, Executive Director of Hillel at Stanford. In this episode, Jessica discusses the intersection of American individualism and Jewish communal living. She offers a unique take on what Jews in Israel may be lacking by exploring the wisdom of the Diaspora and the benefits of living within a pluralistic society. This discussion opens up new ways of thinking about American Jewry and contests the idea that living in Israel is the ideal way to live an authentic Jewish life.

The Z3 Podcast is an outgrowth of the Z3 Conference. This is a home for the dialogue between Diaspora and Israeli Jews, where we can create a common ground of connection and understanding. In a time of uncertainty and disconnection, this podcast is meant to be a public square where diverse viewpoints can come together to discuss, debate, and delve into the topics we care most about while still maintaining our humanity and community.
