Hillel Levine, Professor of Sociology and Religion at Boston University, was ordained by the Jewish Theological Seminary and received his PhD from Harvard. He has been an active participant and critic of the organized Jewish community with special involvements in civil rights, Soviet and Ethiopian Jewry and improved relations between Israeli Arabs, Jews and Palestinians. He founded the International Center for Conciliation, active on four continents, to foster new approaches to ethnic and religiously incited violence.
Calls for Change in the Jewish Establishment
How Can Jewish Creativity and Representative Jewish Organizations Support One Another?
Hillel Levine led the student revolution at the 1969 General Assembly of the Jewish federations. The story of how it came about and how it failed offers a cautionary note to today’s calls for innovation within the system. Hillel Levine will reflect on lessons learned and facilitate a discussion between federation and foundation leaders and Jewish educators, artists, and others who need and deserve support for their work.
The “New Jewish Universalism:”
How to Create Empathetic Connections with the Muslim and Arab Worlds
The secret is out: the Jews are a ridiculously small people. We are getting pushed out of many important global discourses on human rights, conciliation, and such where Jewish perspectives are hugely needed. Jews in the Diaspora and Israel must try finding friends wherever we can, particularly in Europe, North Africa, South and East Asia. Who are the “moderates” and what do they share with us? How do we use pained memory? Would talking and working together stop the radicalization and violence?
