Annual Schwartz Lecture

In this special talk, Gefsky Community Scholar Rabbi Danny Schiff will consider what moral courage demands of us at this critical juncture in Jewish history and the challenge of holding fast to our values in difficult times.

Join us for an evening of networking (schmoozing) with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres before the presentation, followed by a delightful dessert.
