Welcome!
Over the last decade, we have seen a spike in either/or thinking that is forcing us apart, as social communities, as free and functioning nation states, as a Jewish people, and as humans.
The series will convene on Zoom, Wednesday evenings from 7:30 – 9:30pm ET on April 23, May 7, May 14, and May 28.
What a way to honor the Omer.
The first and last sessions will feature Rabbi Shoshana Gelfand (WGF/DS Alum), author, BBC radio broadcaster and philanthropic advisor. For more than a decade, she has been part of the Pears Foundation team in London, where she currently serves as Director of Leadership and Learning. She is also Vice-Chair of the International Jewish Committee on Interreligious Consultations (IJCIC), which liaises on behalf of the global Jewish community to the Vatican and World Council of Churches, and co-author of Polarities in Jewish Tradition. The middle two sessions will be taught by Professor Wendy K Smith whose book — “Both/And Thinking: Embracing Creative Tensions to Solve Your Toughest Problems” — we will study as part of our work. Wendy Smith earned her Ph.D. in organizational behavior at Harvard Business School, and is currently a professor of management at the Alfred Lerner College of Business & Economics and Co-director of the Women’s Leadership Initiative at the University of Delaware, where she teaches leadership, organizational behavior and business ethics.
