Critical Conversations
Critical Conversations is Chabad on the Vineyard’s flagship speaker series featuring influential journalists, political leaders, diplomats, academics, authors, and cultural voices discussing the most important issues shaping Jewish life, Israel, America, and the world today.
Hosted on Martha’s Vineyard each summer, Critical Conversations brings together island residents and visitors for thoughtful and engaging dialogue in an intimate setting that encourages learning, reflection, and meaningful exchange.
Past and upcoming guests have included presidents, ambassadors, leading journalists, bestselling authors, legal scholars, Israeli voices, and prominent public intellectuals discussing topics ranging from antisemitism and Israel to politics, media, law, resilience, and Jewish identity.
The series reflects Chabad on the Vineyard’s commitment to fostering intelligent, respectful, and substantive public conversation while strengthening Jewish communal life on Martha’s Vineyard.
