Dr. Erica Brown is Vice Provost for Values and Leadership at Yeshiva University and Founding Director of its Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks-Herenstein Center for Values and Leadership. An award winning author who writes extremely widely on Jewish Ethics, Bible and leadership, Erica’s new book, Morning has Broken: Faith after October 7th is out now.

Previously she served as the director of the Mayberg Centre for Jewish Education and Leadership and was Associate Professor of Curriculum Pedagogy at the George Washington University. She’s a veteran of Jewish education and leadership who’s paved the way for so many people and continues to be a role model to me and many others in the world of Jewish education and leadership.

Erica and I discuss how to choose where and when to apply our creative energy in leadership, an immersive approach to getting things done, getting women into writing, and carrying ourselves and others across the historical and difficult times we’re experiencing.
