Ha'aretz journalist Ari Shavit and Atlantic National Correspondent Jeffrey Goldberg discuss the fundamental challenge to Jews in Israel; although Israel is designed as a safe political place for Jews, on the individual level, it isn't as safe as the United States or Western Europe.

Hosted by the Aspen Institute, The 2008 Aspen Ideas Festival will engage its participants in a variety of programs, tutorials, seminars and discussion events which together are guaranteed to charge the atmosphere with vibrant intellectual exchange. Think of it as a week-long summer university for the mind -- remarkable lectures and classes across a stimulating array of topics.
