What is Jewish Priorities?

Jewish Priorities is a publication of the Z3 Institute devoted to serious Jewish thought on Jewish peoplehood, Israel, Zionism, antisemitism, leadership, identity, and the global Jewish future.

What began as a landmark collection of essays, entitled Jewish Priorities: Sixty-Five Proposals for the Future of Our People (Wicked Son, 2023) has become an ongoing platform for ideas, debate, and intellectual exchange. Here, fellows of the Z3 Institute and invited guest contributors engage the questions facing the Jewish people: the relationship between Israel and the Diaspora, the meaning of Jewish collective responsibility, the future of Jewish institutions, the cultural, political, and moral challenges shaping Jewish life today, and more.

Jewish Priorities brings together a wide range of voices from across the Jewish world, including Israelis and Diaspora writers, younger influencers and veteran opinion leaders, rabbis and communal leaders, journalists and scholars, and literary and cultural figures across religious and political lines. Each brings a different perspective to the questions shaping Jewish life today. All are grounded in the conviction that the future of the Jewish people must be thought about seriously, argued about honestly, and built together.

This substack is for you if you care about the big questions facing Jewish life, rigorous ideas, meaningful disagreement, and conversation that moves the Jewish future forward.
