These days, bridges seem to be burnt with far more passion than they are being built. It is an unfortunate reality that, disappointingly, has often left the world Jewish community standing alone on one side.
But there is a whole cadre of truly progressive--meaning seeking actual social progress--leaders who are looking to shift that paradigm.
No man is an island. And neither is any nation. The world today is an interconnected super-society of friends, enemies, and a whole lot of frenemies. But no one stands alone.
Rabbi Erez Sherman has been a leader on the interfaith front, creating alliances, friendships, and understanding between the Jewish and non-Jewish communities, both in his hometown of Los Angeles, and across the globe.
From the Voice of the People movement to the Black-Jewish Entertainment Alliance, Rabbi Sherman is changing the face of friendship, fostering relationships across demographics to find the ties that bind and create a better future for us all.
In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Rabbi Erez Sherman discuss relations between Jews and Non-Jews in a post-October 7th world and why they are so important.
If you are a yogi or yogini who sees Jews as "the other," you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about interfaith dialogue, appreciation, and kindness. Ultimately, we are all one.
