Acharai Fellows Alumni Spring Series
Please join your fellow ACHARAI alumni for exclusive, intimate conversations with two extra-ordinary leaders as our community navigates the changing terrain post-October 7th.

“If ever there was a Promised Land, we American Jews are living in it.” – Rabbi Jacob Neusner, Washington Post, 1987
Core questions for these conversations:
• How are recent events shifting our perspectives and our lives?
• To what core values should we hold firm?
• Where do we go from here?
