As our world feels to be in a state of almost perpetual crisis, the role of leadership is more essential than ever before. Together we will look at another story of a moment of existential crisis—the sin of the Golden Calf—and the leadership of Moses in this critical moment. Through a study of the story and Rabbinic commentaries and Midrash, we will explore what our traditions recognize as necessary in the most difficult of times.

Benyamin Cohen is the News Director of the Forward, America’s oldest and largest newspaper. He gets up each morning at 5 AM to scour the web for a newsletter he writes that goes to more than 100,000 people which has all the Jewish news you need to know each day. He’ll share the thought-process behind how he curates the news and how readers can teach themselves to spot bias, see when news is being blown out of proportion, and how to find joy and delight in modern Jewish news.
