The Smol Emuni movement, which seeks to give voice to left-wing, religious Jews, is hosting its first conference in the US. The movement aims to create a forum for religious Jews to grapple with issues such as nationalism and socio-economic disparities. The majority of Orthodox Jewish Americans are politically conservative, leaving some progressive community members feeling isolated. The conference will feature plenary talks, break-out sessions, and discussions on topics such as observant Jewish identities and religious identity in relation to Israel.
