Event Details
Join Rabbi Salkin to explore how Passover themes of liberation and resilience guide us in repairing our people amidst modern challenges.

 

How does the Exodus story guide how we respond to current moral and spiritual challenges? Explore the powerful themes of Tikkun Ha’am/Repairing Our People with Rabbi Jeffrey K. Salkin through the lens of Passover, a holiday that celebrates liberation, resilience, and communal responsibility.

October 7, 2023, marked not only a tragic day in modern Jewish history but also a profound challenge to Jewish identity and spirituality. Rabbi Salkin’s call to reclaim a Jewish vocabulary of sanctity, activism, and the courage to stand apart from societal norms resonates deeply in this moment of crisis. Together, we will reflect on how we can “repair the Jewish people” in the face of modern crises. Leave with actionable insights on how to infuse Jewish values into your personal and communal lives, inspired by the timeless lessons of Passover. Purchase the book here.
