David Singer -- Connecting through Jewish Learning

David Singer discusses how his Jewish journey brought him to the role of National Director of Limmud North America (Limmud NA), and how his passion for building Jewish community inspires him to grow Limmud NA into a movement. From his childhood experience of acting in plays about biblical events with his synagogue, to becoming a Hillel director, he has thought a lot about what motivates people to embrace their Jewish identity and live Jewishly. He talks about learning with others as an antidote to loneliness, curiosity being the bed-rock of the Limmud movement, and how the capacity to share a joint fate has been the Jewish people’s strength throughout history. He goes on to say that his hope for the Jewish people is the cultivation of imagination for the future. Interview by Tamar Libicki
