We are excited to introduce a series of speakers we are going to host over the coming year. We’ll be inviting individuals who offer unique and provocative perspectives on emerging movements and contemporary issues facing observant Jews.
Our first speaker will be Ari hart who will be joining us on Shabbat morning November 19th. Ari will be davening with us and will be giving a d’var torah relating to the future of Modern Orthodoxy and social justice.
Ari, an Evanston native, is the co-founder of Uri L’Tzedek (Awaken to Justice): The Orthodox Social Justice Movement and a leader of multiple initiatives that bring the Jewish community and the world together to make positive social change. A contributor to the Jerusalem Post, Haaretz magazine, and Jewschool.com, he was recently selected by the Jewish Week as one of the 36 “forward-thinking young people who are helping to remake the Jewish community.” He is currently studying to be a rabbi at Yeshivat Chovevei Torah in New York City.
We look forward to learning together with Ari during his visit.
