Jewish Leadership in the 21st Century

One of the downsides to Conferences such as Facing Tomorrow is with the huge amount of ground the planners need to cover, it is just physically impossible to attend every session one would like. And so it was with this session, Grooming the Future Leadership of Israel and the Jewish People, which ran simultaneously to Jewish Education in the 21st Century: Is it Important? which I was particularly interested in.

Never fear, we’ve got you covered. EstherK, who has become a legend in multi-tasking at events, has written a great post on the Leadership session. And eJP will have the audio of both of these sessions for you shortly.

“Leslie Wexner noted the importance of mentorship and good values as the basis of leadership, and pointed to morality’s roots in Judaism. “We began ethics and justice, and believe in a collective reality. It’s important to have moral compass of humanity and civilization.”
