Dancing in the Darkness: Spiritual Lessons for Thriving in Turbulent Times
Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III, Senior Pastor, Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago IL
The Rabbi Ferdinand M. Isserman Lecture honors the life of the late Rabbi Ferdinand M. Isserman, the distinguished rabbi and author who was actively involved in social justice and interfaith issues locally, nationally, and internationally.
The Isserman Fund, through which both the lecture and prize are supported, was founded by Rabbi Isserman’s widow Ruth and their children in 1992. The Isserman Lecture invites the WashU and St. Louis community to engage in conversation around social justice and interfaith relations. The public program has featured faith leaders, journalists, educators, artists, and activists from a diversity of faith traditions and across the United States.
