How Moral Do Our Leaders Need To Be?

Sunday, June 29

From King David to contemporary politicians, leaders who engage in immoral or unethical behavior inevitably face questions regarding their suitability to govern.

In this text-based study session and discussion, facilitated by Jewish leadership scholar Dr. Hal M. Lewis, participants looked at several classical Jewish sources that addressed these related matters.
