Abstract
This 2016 article by Jon A. Levisohn is one in a series for OOI Salons by the Hillel Office of Innovation. The mission of OOI Salons is to harness experts across fields as diverse as engineering, literature, philosophy, and business to think through the pressing concerns voiced by OOI’s rabbis, educators, and young adults in the Hillel movement. Through essays, roundtables, seminars, conferences, and publications, OOI Salons develop new ways of thinking about the Jewish world’s most persistent problems.
