SUMMARY:How Jews by Choice Strengthen the Jewish Community
DESCRIPTION:This panel discussion moderated by Rabbi Eli Freedman and Rabbi Jon Cutler offers a provocative look at the future of the Jewish faith\, moving beyond traditional boundaries to explore why the community should actively welcome those born outside of it. \nThe heart of the event lies in the lived experiences of the panelists. By sharing their individual journeys toward conversion\, these speakers will shed light on what drew them to Judaism and the specific “why” behind their choice to join the covenant. It is an opportunity to hear how ancient traditions resonate with modern seekers and to consider the vital role that new perspectives play in sustaining and enriching the Jewish community. Set within Congregation Rodeph Shalom\, this conversation invites both lifelong members and curious newcomers to rethink the importance of an open-door philosophy in a changing world. \nRegister here. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the Board of Rabbis of Greater Philadelphia

Characterized as a lifelong supporter of women’s rights\, Kaplan’s family\, including his wife and four daughters\, played a role in shaping his ideas about women\, culture\, and Zionism. This was especially of his second daughter\, Hadassah Kaplan\, who joined a small but influential cohort of American Jewish women who studied\, worked and volunteered in British Mandate Palestine. Promised Lands draws on a rich personal archive of diary entries\, photographs\, and letters\, to follow Hadassah’s journey to Palestine and illustrate how travel shaped a cohort of American Jewish women who went on to shape American Jewry.
