What If A Great Conversation Could Actually Move You? Aspen Jewish Conversations brings together thinkers, leaders, and seekers for evenings of honest, generous dialogue about the ideas shaping Jewish life: identity, peoplehood, public life, and what comes next. We’re not just here to talk. We’re here to leave differently than we arrived.
All conversations start at 5:30 p.m. and will be held in Paepke Auditorium. Doors open at 5 pm.
An evening of reflection, resilience, and hope, this conversation invites our community into one of the most urgent and human questions of our time: what comes next? Through personal story, moral courage, and Jewish wisdom, Rachel Goldberg-Polin and Jon Polin will help us explore grief, responsibility, and the possibilities that emerge even in uncertainty.
Featuring comedians Alex Edelman and Liz Glazer
What does it mean to make people laugh right now? Alex Edelman and Liz Glazer happen to be Jewish. While that’s not the entirety of their act, it’s never not true. Both have built careers in the broad American comedy world, and both are grappling with what it means to be visibly Jewish in that space in this particular moment. This conversation explores comedy, identity, and the strange necessity of laughter when the world feels like it’s a lot.
Moderated by Jacques Berlinerblau, author of “Can We Laugh at That? Comedy in a Conflicted Age.”
Featuring Rabbi Sharon Brous, founder and senior rabbi of IKAR, and Eric Cohen, President and CEO of Tikvah
As America approaches 250 years, this conversation looks at the enduring relationship between Jewish life and the American experiment. Through historical reflection and contemporary insight, speakers will explore how Jewish tradition and democratic ideals have shaped one another—and what that long story asks of us now.
Moderated by Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.
