Ari Hart Named to Jewish Week's 36 Under 36!
Uri L'Tzedek Board Member Ari Hart was named one of 36 Jewish leaders under the age of 36 by the Jewish Week!
On his approach to Jewish social justice leadership: "Encountering people different from me, learning from them, I was seeing my sense of safety and security tied up in these other communities, those local and around the world," he says. "The voice of social justice speaks through Torah, Talmud and halacha. The purpose of Judaism is to create a sacred community on earth."
