Keret will share personal insights on daily life in Israel, the emotional and political complexity of the current moment, and the role of humor, imagination, and storytelling in times of uncertainty. The conversation will also explore Keret’s new role in New York as director of the Jewish Theological Seminary’s groundbreaking MFA program in Creative Writing and what it means to build a new home for Jewish storytelling at this moment in history. Blending wit, vulnerability, and sharp observation, Keret offers a perspective on Israel and Jewish identity that is both deeply personal and profoundly human.
