Daniel: The Challenge and Opportunity for Diaspora Jews (VBM)

Thursday, July 17, 2025 21 Tammuz 5785

1:00 PM - 2:00 PMHybrid

Join Rabbi Marc Gitler for an engaging and thought-provoking lecture. Through the lens of the biblical figure Daniel—a Jerusalem noble taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar II who rose to prominence while staying true to his Jewish identity—we’ll examine what it means to live as Jews in the diaspora today. This class will delve into the complexities of balancing integration with authenticity, navigating pressure to conform, and discovering spiritual resilience in foreign or secular environments. Together, we’ll uncover timeless lessons from Daniel’s life that speak powerfully to our modern Jewish experience.
