Hey #JewSky of southwest Ohio, spread the word about a talk I am giving next Monday at @universityofdayton.bsky.social! This talk, in particular, is focused on the fact that even when things look bleak, there's always a way to find hope.

The photos from #JewCE2024 are coming through, and I am so glad we got this group shot from the BEST roundtable, featuring Hilary Price, Chari Pere, Uri Fink, Arie Kaplan, and Terry LaBan. I love it when the creatives let an academic hang with them for the day!
