Valley Beit Midrash

A hybrid event presentation (in-person & virtual) by Rabbi Mike Feuer

EVENT CO-SPONSORED BY: Congregation Beth Israel

Please note event times are listed in the local time zone (PST). 

ABOUT THE EVENT:

On the day after Israel’s Independence Day, this talk explores how certain models of Jewish heroism - the warrior and the public leader - have made sovereignty possible, yet cannot by themselves fulfill its deeper promise. Drawing on the Torah of Jewish heroism, we will ask what fuller independence requires today. The answer points to different forms of Jewish heroism: the judge, the healer, and the storyteller - those who shape conscience, restore wholeness, and give meaning to power on the road toward redemption.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:

Rav Mike Feuer is an educator, content creator, and spiritual counselor. Through the Jewish Heroism Project he brings a Torah of Jewish heroism to leaders, educators, activists, and idealistic Jews seeking to develop courage, capacity, and spiritual strength for our time.
