In this conversation, recorded on February 7, 2025, Solly Kane and Anna Goren engage in a thoughtful dialogue about their Jewish identities, relationships to the State of Israel, and local Jewish institutions. They explore the challenges and importance of holding nuanced discourse and maintaining relationships across silos.
Solly shares his experience of balancing diverse narratives as the CEO of Seattle’s Jewish Federation, and his commitment to building an inclusive, vibrant Jewish community.
Anna talks about her deep ties to Seattle’s Jewish institutions, many of which no longer represent her today, particularly when it comes to narratives on the State of Israel and the fate of Palestinians.
