“The good news is, Judaism will exist in 100 years. The bad news is, it will be unrecognizable to us.”

In this interactive workshop, Rabbi Benay Lappe will give us a framework for “crash theory”: a simple but elegant model of how all change happens — whether societal, religious, organizational or personal.
