Wednesday, May 15, 2024 7 Iyyar 5784

With Rabbi Stephanie Ruskay.  It’s human nature to build and rebuild, organize, and disorganize. Institutions both large and small are grappling with the challenging tasks of shaping the present and future. Rabbi Ruskay will lead us in a process of exploring communal narratives and asking provocative questions that help us discover solutions.

Rabbi Stephanie Ruskay is associate dean of The Rabbinical School and executive director of The JTS Hendel Center for Ethics and Justice. She has made her career in the Jewish social justice sector, having served in leadership positions at American Jewish World Service, Auburn Theological Seminary, AVODAH: The Jewish Service Corps, and JOIN for Justice. Rabbi Ruskay is an alumna of JTS’s Joint Program, The Davidson School and The Rabbinical School. She directs field education and entrepreneurial endeavors and is focused on raising the scope and profile of social justice work and community organizing skills in the role of the contemporary rabbi. Rabbi Ruskay is a member of the social justice commission of the Rabbinical Assembly and of its Joint Placement Commission.
