## Resource

Yehuda Kurtzer, president of the Shalom Hartman Institute, discusses the state of pluralism in North America following October 7th. Kurtzer argues for moving beyond survival-focused thinking toward Jewish thriving and excellence, examines the collapse of distinctions between antisemitism and antizionism, and explores the erosion of democratic norms in liberal societies. He addresses the responsibility of pluralistic democracies to protect minority communities and challenges Jewish institutions to remain engaged in building inclusive societies despite rising hostility.
