Jewish Ideas to Change the World

Tal Keinan, author, entrepreneur and social activist., presents his Valley Beit Midrash lecture "God Is In The Crowd" before an audience at Congregation Beth Tefillah (https://www.bethtefillahaz.org/) in Scottsdale, AZ.

ABOUT THIS LECTURE: GOD IS IN THE CROWD is told through the prism of Tal’s dramatic personal story. Born to a secular Jewish family in Miami, he only became curious about his religion and identity when he arrived at Phillips Exeter Academy. This curiosity led him to embark on a trip to Israel, and soon after, his Jewish identity became so important that he enlisted in the Israeli Air Force. As a man who was putting his life on the line for his people, he began to ask himself if what he was fighting for was worth it. This led Tal into an investigation of the core values of Judaism in the twenty-first century and what must be done to preserve the religion. At once alarming and hopeful, philosophical and prescriptive, personal and communal, GOD IS IN THE CROWD presents an innovative plan in which the wisdom of the Jewish crowd is harnessed to endow Judaism with new purpose and ensure its survival.
