Hope meets Chuppah: A fearless approach to Jewish leadership
Friday July 19, 2024 10:00am - 11:00am AEST
H125
Jews shouldn't be hopeful. By all accounts, our endless suffering, persecution and kvetching, should result in a downtrodden and pessimistic people. Yet, here we are, quite the opposite, the custodians of a hope that cannot be extinguished. A determination that knows no bounds. A resilience, tenacity and sheer will to survive and thrive, that frustrates genocidal anti-Semites the world over. We simply love life. We love doing extraordinary things.

What is at the heart of this audacious way of being? How do we maintain this chutzpadik hope when all around us people try and give us reasons to give up?

In this interactive session, we will explore the foundations of Jewish leadership and strength. We will identify and reflect back on ourselves, how these tenants relate to our own personal mission.

You will not leave with all the answers. But you may leave with a whole bunch of great questions. It will be fun. Interactive. Sometimes funny. Often challenging. Let's do this.
