Israel: remove barriers to free debate

NIF UK Chair, Nicholas Saphir recently had his essay on the relationship between British Jewry and Israel and the critical question of how do we ensure our younger generations remain connected and engaged published in the Jewish Chroncile.

Nicholas identifies the key changes in this relationship that have happened over time and finds great hope that the younger generation are finding different ways to express their ties and values, not least through connecting to the energy emanating from the rising tide of young activism and civic involvement in Israel.

The essay has elicited a fascinating response. For me, it is important that the voice of NIF and NIF’s leaders is heard in this debate as I believe we are well placed to work with those committed to exploring and redefining their generations’ relationship with Israel.
