Beinart vs. Gordis

Last year JTA tried to put together a Peter Beinart-Daniel Gordis debate at the General Assembly of the Jewish Federation of North America, but we were only able to land one of them.

Back then it would have been cool. But, now, with Beinart kicking things up a notch with his new book, Gordis taking some harsh shots and Beinart firing back, it’s epic.

So kudos to our friends over at Tablet for managing to put these two high-profile pontificators in the ring, at a debate Wednesday night. [UPDATE: Oops. The event was co-sponsored by The Current, Columbia’s journal of contemporary politics, culture and Jewish affairs.] 

Dan Klein has the write-up.
