Kesher is honored and delighted to have
Rabbi Peretz Wolf-Prusan as this
year’s scholar-in-residence.
Ever since Sinai, each generation of Israelites, Judeans, and Jews has
been responsible for passing the Torah, literally and metaphorically,
from one generation to the next. We have told stories, inscribed
scrolls, sung songs, created symbolic foods, illuminated books, written
plays, made movies—and now, in addition to it all, we send podcasts and
post blogs. But what are the essential messages from Sinai? And how are
we transmitting what is important to us? Looking over our shoulders at
the past, and then back at ourselves, we will investigate our own
storytelling potential as we celebrate our turn at telling our tale.
Rabbi Peretz Wolf-Prusan is Rabbi and Senior Educator at Congregation
Emanu-El in San Francisco, as well as Senior Rabbinic Fellow of the
Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem and on the faculty of the
Consortium for the Future of the Jewish Family. He was ordained in 1990
from the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati
and holds an undergraduate degree from San Francisco State University.
Rabbi Peretz Wolf-Prusan is the recipient of numerous awards, including
the 2002 Covenant Award for Exceptional Jewish Educators.
