All Politics is Local: Amy Spitalnick in Conversation with Andrew Silow-Carroll

257 West 88th Street New York, NY 10024

This year’s mayoral election has had an outsized impact on the Jewish community in New York City and around the country, shining a spotlight on the place of Judaism and Zionism in local politics. The race raised the already-high levels of tension and polarization in our NYC Jewish community, and with the election over, many of us are asking: Where do we go from here? Is a greater sense of unity possible? How can we go about healing the fractures among New York’s Jewish communities?

Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council on Public Affairs, offers reflections and analysis in conversation with Andrew Silow-Carroll, editor at large of the New York Jewish Week.
