SUMMARY:Common Grounds - Building a Shared Community among religiously ob
 servant and non-observant Jews in Israel
DESCRIPTION:Temple Emunah Brotherhood Hosts Guest Speaker Ariel Livneh\n\nF
 or decades\, one of Israel's most volatile and dangerous social rifts has 
 been the one between religiously observant and non-observant Jews. Given t
 hat this divide is partly due to political differences\, in addition to di
 fferences in religious practices\, the social danger becomes even more acu
 te.\n\nAriel will discuss one of the initiatives aimed at addressing this 
 growing rift\, through the creation of a joint village community for both 
 observant and non-observant Jews\, in Israel’s southern region. We will 
 hear from Ariel about the experiences leading him and his wife to take par
 t in the creation of this community\, its reality\, and the numerous chall
 enges (some very unexpected) the community faced in its first days and tod
 ay.\n\nAbout Ariel:\n· Ariel Livneh serves as head of an operational bra
 nch in the Israeli Defense Forces (Lt. Colonel). He has been serving in co
 re analytical\, operational\, educational and project management positions

  growing social tensions between religious and non-religious groups\, Arie
 l and his wife Daphna were among the founders of Eliav\, a joint secular-r
 eligious village community in Israel's southern region. Eliav was founded 
 on the values of pluralism\, tolerance and shared community. Ariel promot
