In a live edition of Moment's debate series, Menachem Rosensaft, Adam Scott Bellos, and moderator Amy E. Schwartz tackle the question of whether America will continue to be a sanctuary for Jews or follow a less favorable historical pattern seen in other nations. This robust discussion explores how the current social and political climate in the United States affects Jewish communities, weighing the country's historical role as a safe haven against emerging challenges. As Jews have long viewed the U.S. as a 'promised land,' the debate touches on issues of identity, security, and communal responsibility, and whether America can sustain its special status concerning Jewish life and safety.
