A Jewish Futures Post-Conference Webinar with Ariel Burger
As we work to nurture and empower our students, we are also managing our own responses to the challenges facing our communities, our society, and our world. Building on his talk at the Jewish Futures Conference, and inspired by the legacy of his teacher Elie Wiesel, author and educator Ariel Burger shares ten unique and counter-cultural suggestions for teaching with spiritual efficacy in troubled times. Topics include how to cultivate empathy, a new sensitivity to the language that we use, and the power of vulnerability.
