Presented by The Bader and Maisel Annual Lecture Series

We are thrilled to welcome Rabbi Shai Held back to Beth El to present on his newest opus, Judaism is About Love, which eschews the idea that Judaism is solely founded upon rigid law but rather a deep sense of empathy and connection to God and one another.  Rabbi Held serves as President and Dean at the Hadar Institute.  He received the prestigious Covenant Award for Excellence in Jewish Education is the author of Abraham Joshua Heschel: The Call of Transcendence (2013), The Heart of Torah (2017), and Judaism is About Love (2024) and he is the host of Hadar's newest podcast, Answers WithHeld.
