About the Event
We are at a very unique point in history, coming out of a global pandemic that turned everything upside down. As our attention turns to rebuilding, what we need are strategies for life in the post-COVID world. 

Connected Capitalism is a guide for bringing Jewish wisdom, which holds that the sacred is expressed in our interaction with the everyday, to all facets of our lives. This means favouring action over passivity, knowing that every action we take has the potential to transform. It means choosing actions that change us, our environment, and all those we come in contact with. It means doing the spiritual work that will allow us to find meaning, connection, and wonder.

Join us for this timely conversation, as we explore how Jewish wisdom can help us thrive after the pandemic.
