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.
