Jewish Wisdom for a Secular World

Hosted By: The National Library of Israel (NLI)

Rebuilding after the global pandemic and reckoning with the fallout offers a renewed opportunity to bring unabashedly Jewish ideas into daily life. At a time when society often presents spirituality as something passive and inward-focused, Professor David Weitzner offers an alternative, deeply Jewish view. In his award-winning recent book, Connected Capitalism: How Jewish Wisdom Can Transform Work, David places Jewish concepts at the center of a reimagined world where creating value, initiating change, and encouraging cooperation is profoundly spiritual work, even in our seemingly most secular spaces. Join David in conversation with DJ Schneeweiss, where he will elaborate on these ideas, the Jewish sources which inspired them, the contemporary research backing them up, and the implications for society more broadly of bringing Jewish wisdom into our secular world.
