Elad Nehorai, the Pop Chassid (http://popchassid.com/), presents his Valley Beit Midrash Lecture "How To Break Out Of Tribalism and Still Be Proudly Jewish" before a roundtable audience at DeskHub, a collaborative workspace for start-up organizations.
ABOUT THIS LECTURE: It could be argued that tribalism, valuing one’s own group more than others, often leading to hurting others, has become one of the defining problems in our generation. But how does one balance that against the call by our very religion to act, in so many ways, as a tribe? How do we square what seems like self-interest with the call to make the world a perfect place? In this session, Elad will discuss these tensions, and how Judaism itself holds the answers to them.
