On Nov. 21, Rabbi Donniel Hartman spoke at Toronto’s Holy Blossom Temple in a frank conversation about the future of Israeli democracy with David Koffman, a professor of Jewish studies at York University.

In an extensive interview, Hartman sat down with Avi Finegold, host of The CJN's weekly current affairs podcast, Bonjour Chai, to expand on his ideas about the state of Israel religious and political landscape in the wake of Benjamin Netanyahu's return to power and describe Diaspora relations with the Zionist state.

With Ellin Bessner on vacation this week, we're bringing listeners of The CJN Daily an excerpt of that insightful conversation.
