BAMIDBAR - A CALL FOR TRUE LEADERSHIP

Rabbi Dunner critiques the inadequate response of East Brunswick school leaders to a yearbook incident where a Jewish student group's photo and names were replaced with those of Muslim students. He emphasizes the need for true leadership that goes beyond apologies, insisting on accountability, proactive measures, and preventing such incidents. Drawing from Parshat Bamidbar and the teachings of Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, he underscores the importance of responsibility, inclusion, and community in effective leadership to uphold values of respect and justice.
