Rabbi Lerner and his organization, the Network of Spiritual Progressives, advocates a new bottom line in America that takes into consideration not only how well institutions and the economy maximize money and power, but also how well they maximize love and caring, ethical and ecological sensitivity and behavior, kindness and  generosity, non-violence and peace. 

 

Rabbi Lerner will be speaking on practical ways in which we can create an environment in which President Obama can pursue the programs and ideals he espoused in his campaign.  Yes, we can make it possible for real change, but he cannot do it alone.  It will take active participation from all of us to bring real change from the bottom up.

Rabbi Lerner is a well known peace activist and cultural reformer; author of The Left Hand of God and Spirit Matters.  He is also the rabbi of Beyt Tikkun Synagogue in Berkeley and San Francisco, CA.  He is an advocate for a Global Marshall Plan, an initiative endorsed by a U.S. House of Representatives Resolution 1078.  He is also editor/writer for the acclaimed Tikkun Magazine.
