Encounter is an opportunity to engage more deeply and seriously in the most pressing issues facing the Jewish people today. You need this.

Jewish communal leaders simply must recognize the need for us (right now!) to listen and learn, honor and engage, struggle and sit with all of these issues, narratives, experiences...for our sake collectively as a Jewish people, and specifically as American Jews.
