Luncheon & Conversation
12:00–2:00pm
Join us for an inspiring conversation with Rabbi Sharon Brous as we explore the topic of human connection and its power to transform the way we think, feel, and live. Drawing from ancient Jewish wisdom and contemporary social science, together, we’ll gain a greater understanding for connection, kinship, and how to create a more loving and just society.
Named as the most influential rabbi in America by Newsweek, Rabbi Sharon Brous is the founding and senior rabbi of IKAR, a leading-edge Jewish community based in Los Angeles. She blessed both President Obama and President Biden at their inaugurations. Her TED talk “Reclaiming Religion” has been translated into 23 languages and her first book, The Amen Effect: Ancient Wisdom to Mend Our Broken Hearts and World, will be released in January 2024.
