Building Spiritual Connections Locally and Digitally

Casper ter Kuile, CEO of the Nearness and author of and author of the Power of Ritual, talks to JFN President and CEO Andres Spokoiny about his work in seeking to create a new structure of community experience that uses the ease and accessibility of the internet while also building local connections that become deep friendships. This episode dives  into what the spiritual leadership of the post-COVID world looks like, which models of community we can learn from in creating spiritual belonging, and the importance of the Jewish community asking itself the hard, uncomfortable questions about where it’s going.
