Perspectives in Focus: Ezra Glinter

Join us for an illuminating conversation with Ezra Glinter, award winning author and journalist, as part of our ongoing Perspectives in Focus speaker series.

In his latest book, Menachem Mendel Schneerson: Becoming the Messiah, Ezra Glinter offers a nuanced exploration of the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s life — examining how he became one of the most influential Jewish figures of the modern era.

We'll get an in-depth look at why we should view The Rebbe not only as a religious leader but as a global thinker whose ideas continue to shape Jewish identity and contemporary Jewish spirituality.
