Religious Nationalism: Christian and Jewish Perspectives (Rossing Center)

In today’s world, religious nationalism has become one of the most influential forces in shaping societies and politics. It doesn’t only affect communities on a local level — it is transforming global conversations, fueling polarization, and reshaping power structures.

While media outlets often highlight the rise of religious nationalism, understanding this phenomenon requires going beyond headlines. To truly grasp contemporary politics — particularly in the context of Israel-Palestine — we must also recognize how religion and nationalism intersect, creating new challenges and opportunities for dialogue.

 On September 8 at 19:30 Jerusalem time, join us for a timely and thought-provoking webinar. Together we’ll examine religious nationalism through Jewish and Christian lenses, exploring the tensions, shared challenges, and possibilities for rethinking interreligious relations.

With guest speakers:
 Matthew D. Taylor – Senior Christian Scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies (Baltimore)
 Mikhael Manekin – Director of the Alliance Fellowship Program and co-leader of the Faithful Left movement

Moderated by:
Hana Bendcowsky – Program Director of JCJCR at the Rossing Center for Education and Dialogue
