There are good speakers. There are great speakers.

And then there are the ones who reach in and help you see yourself and your values in a new and thoughtful way. Speakers who leave you with a new sense of the world and your place in it.

Perhaps one of the most prominent of these speakers in Jewish life today is RabbI David Wolpe, the Rabbi of Sinai Temple in Los Angeles, California. A teacher, columnist, author, and community leader, Rabbi Wolpe has been named the Most Influential Rabbi in America by Newsweek magazine and one of the 50 most influential Jews in the world by the Jerusalem Post.

And he’s coming here on June 1.

On June 1 we’re holding our Federation’s Annual Meeting. You’re invited. We’ll celebrate the achievements of the community, we’ll meet old friends and new ones, and we’ll thank our outgoing Campaign Chair Maxine Murnick for her work and dedication. We’ll also be inspired. Not just from the work we’ve done, but from one of the most inspiring speakers you’ll probably hear all year.

You can register here. I hope you’ll join us for what promises to be a memorable, moving, and meaningful evening. Plus we’ll have great desserts.

Special thanks to our corporate sponsor GPS – General Plumbing Supply – for its generous support of the event.
