Talking About Talking to Kids About Israel

Tags:

When Marjorie Ingalls described her internal conflict about having conversations with her kids about Israel on the Web site for Tablet Magazine, she received some strong responses from readers. That’s no surprise, since there is a wide range of deeply held viewpoints and emotions about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict within the Jewish community.

A recent op ed in the New York Times referred to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as the “third rail” of American Jewish life. Though she definitely hit the rail, we applaud Marjorie for trying to start an honest conversation based on her own dilemma about talking to her kids about Israel. 

And we encourage you to check out Marjorie’s entries Never Never Land and Return to Never Never Land.
