Poverty and Jewish Community with Ilana Horwitz

Economic vulnerability affects 1 in 4 American Jews, but it doesn’t affect all of them equally. The difference between a life of temporary hardship and one of permanent poverty may, in some circumstances, boil down to whether a person or family is embedded deeply in Jewish life. Why is that the case? What does this finding reveal about the invisible safety net of Jewish belonging? And what are the practical interventions at our disposal to help alleviate the financial plight of our brethren?

Join SAPIR managing editor Phil Getz with Ilana Horwitz on Thursday, December 18 at 11:00 AM ET for an in-depth discussion about poverty and the American Jewish community.
