An Urgent Conversation on Israel’s Judiciary Overhaul- Thursday July 27, 2023: Israel’s ruling coalition has just passed the first of several bills to overhaul the judiciary. This new law prevents its Supreme Court from questioning the reasonableness of any law or nomination approved by the majority of the Knesset. Such a monumental change has the potential to alter the democratic nature of Israel itself. In response, massive protests continue throughout Israel. What is the true intention behind this judicial overhaul? How will the passage of this first new law impact Israel and its people? What role have the ongoing protests played in shaping the process? And most importantly, what might lie ahead for the nation? To help unpack the implications of this ruling, we invite you to join us virtually for a conversation between Michael Koplow, Chief Policy Officer of Israel Policy Forum, and Rabbi Joy Levitt. Mr. Koplow will provide invaluable insights into these pressing questions, shed by Central Synagogue Podcast
