I have two important professional roles: a professor (researcher/teacher) and a rabbi. Lately while wearing both hats I have been coming up against a huge issue: the loneliness epidemic. It is impacting students, teachers, and community members.
I am intersted in how religion and culture can help address isolation. In my own role as rabbi I have tried to foster meaningful connections between people in an international, intersectional, and intergenerational frame. I think Judaism offers powerful technologies to help aid loneliness. If you’re like me and you want to learn more about that from researchers and people doing innovative Jewish work come to this event:
In person or by zoom. We’d love to gather with you! Registration is free. Capacity is limited.
Hope to see you!
This event is made possible by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada
