As the ground shifts beneath our feet, where is our faith?For your consideration: Rabbi Elan Babchuck. He is the founding director of Glean Network, an incubator for faith-rooted innovation; the executive vice president of the National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership (CLAL); Fellow with the Faith & Media initiative advocating for improved representation of faith in media; and a nationally recognized commentator on religion, technology, and the evolving needs of communities today.And what ahs this to do with earthquakes?In 1837, there was a devastating earthquake in northern Israel that caused major damage to the holy city of Tiberias. Rabbi Babchuck’s great-great-great grandfather was a rabbi in Tiberias at the time, and he had to rebuild a community that had quite literally been leveled.That experience found its way into Elan’s family story, and it became his own job description.Because that is what Rabbi Babchuck does now: he teaches us how to live Jewishly in the midst of earthquakes.Learn more about your ad choices.
