Build­ing a Conversation

<br>

This is the most impor­tant book I’ve read this year, and it’s not even close. Sarah Hur­witz writes with warmth, wis­dom, and wit, and she answers ques­tions I’ve been ask­ing all my life.”

Susan Cain

If you want to under­stand the sit­u­a­tion Amer­i­can Jews find them­selves in right now — not just the bewil­der­ing hatred, but the many inter­nal and exter­nal forces pre­vent­ing us from under­stand­ing it — stop what­ev­er you’re doing and read this book.”

About Natan Fund

Natan inspires phil­an­thropists to become active­ly engaged in build­ing the Jew­ish future by giv­ing col­lab­o­ra­tive­ly to cut­t­ing-edge ini­tia­tives in Israel and in Jew­ish com­mu­ni­ties around the world. Natan believes that edu­cat­ed, engaged, and entre­pre­neur­ial phil­an­thropy can trans­form both givers and grant recip­i­ents. Natan is a giv­ing cir­cle — a grant­mak­ing foun­da­tion where mem­bers pool their char­i­ta­ble con­tri­bu­tions, set the group’s phil­an­thropic strat­e­gy and agen­da, and col­lec­tive­ly award grants to emerg­ing ini­tia­tives, work­ing active­ly with their lead­ers to help them grow. We believe that edu­cat­ed, engaged, and entre­pre­neur­ial phil­an­thropy can trans­form both givers and grant recip­i­ents. Learn more about Natan here.
