The Rabbi Henry Cohen Visiting Scholar: Transforming the World from the Inside-Out with Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz
April 30, 2023 @ 12:15 pm - 1:45 pm
How do we move beyond numbness and despair to actualize our moral passion and build a world of kindness, compassion, and justice? The past few years of abnormal, rapid change and trauma have made it so easy to feel overwhelmed. We’ll explore how the Jewish traditions of mussar (ethical traits) and middot (character traits) can offer us a path forward, helping each of us to be the change we want to see in the world.
Lunch will be served and childcare is available.
