The sources of Judaism are filled with references to the values of din, emet, shalom and more. All of these point to the need for Jews to tend to the most vulnerable in our midst and address the social injustice we see in the world through acts of chesed, and tzedek. How do these principles shape our respective rabbinates? How do rabbis convey these values to the people that they serve? How do we fulfill our professional duties and also "walk the talk" of prophetic Judaism, especially when the two might come into conflict? Is it possible to engage with some of the most controversial issues of our time without causing conflict in our congregations? Finally, how do we balance the external work of tikkun-so important to the world-- with the inner work we need to do on our spiritual lives?
