Evaluating the American Jewish Response to October 7: With Jack Wertheimer, Armin Rosen, and Andres Spokoiny

Since October 7, American Jews have sprung into action to support their fellow Jews in Israel. Institutions big and small have sought ways to help.

Have those efforts succeeded? Have American Jews efffectively brought their considerable resources to bear in ways that actually helped the Jewish state? And as the war changed, how did they rethink their role?

Those are just some of the questions that the historian Jack Wertheimer analyzes in his feature essay this month. In a live conversation on November 21, Mosaic’s editor Jonathan Silver spoke with Wertheimer, the journalist Armin Rosen, and the head of the Jewish Funders Network, Andres Spokoiny, each of whom examine the contributions of American Jews from a very different angle.
