3 events,Alumni Zoom Series; From Harvard’s Campus to Community
Thursday, April 30, 2026 Join Harvard Hillel for the next session in our newly revitalized online speaker series, From Harvard’s Campus to Community. Religion in America is not simply declining; it is being reshaped. How do leaders of faith cultivate clarity, sustain integrity, and translate values into action in a time of pluralism and rapid change? And what does it mean to engage across deep difference without sacrificing conviction? Join Rabbi Sharon Brous, senior and founding rabbi at Ikar in LA and author of national bestseller The Amen Effect, and Dr. Ari Gordon HDS ’10, Director of Muslim-Jewish Relations at AJC Global, for a conversation that moves from theory to practice. Student leader Ari Kohn ’26 will bring the campus perspective.
