I am proud to announce my latest collaboration with both Brown/RISD Hillel and Clal. This should be an exciting day of learning about a topic of which we can always use more.
The richness of Jewish intellectual and spiritual tradition—and its ability to help us understand and access hope, optimism, and faith—has never been more important than it is today, especially in a world that can feel increasingly chaotic.
On November 1, 2026, Brown University’s Program in Judaic Studies, Brown RISD Hillel, and Clal–The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership will come together for a one-day conference exploring these ideas through Jewish thought, academic insight, and their application to everyday life.
Join us at Brown RISD Hillel for robust conversations and new ways of understanding how hope, optimism, and faith can help us move forward and live more fully.
