As public leaders, we are asked to hold a vast multitude of truths within our community, even when these truths tug at our own inner convictions. In this year’s theme, shivim panim, the 70 hands, we explore how to navigate the many interpretations of scripture and life while holding steadfast to the dignity of each individual in our community. We ask ourselves:
How do we balance gevurrah and chesed to create tiferet?
What are sustaining practices for spiritual leaders in times of great upheaval?
How do we balance the different forces directed at us as spiritual leaders?
How do we encourage a healthy diversity of voices and hold a center of wholeness?
