Young Israel of Sharon - Rav Yehuda Gilad Speaks

What role should Halakhic Judaism play in the State of Israel? Tuesday, February 7th at 8:15 pm at the Young Israel of Sharon

Continue the conversation about the direction of Modern Orthodoxy in Israel and America with Rav Yehuda Gilad of Yeshivat Ma’ale Gilboa and former MK.

Rav Gilad holds a bold Jewish world-view that embraces human rights and personal dignitiy. While enrolled at Yeshivat Har Etzion, he serves as a combat soldier in the Armored Corps rising to the rank of Captain. After completing his army service, he earned his Teacher’s Certificate from the Yitzchak Herzog Teachers College and Rabbinical Ordination from the Chief Rabbinate.

Out of a belief that the Israeli army is the most unifying force in Israeli society, Rav Gilad returned to the professional army as a Chaplain. In this role, he stressed his availability to all soldiers and through his hard work and highly personal style, many soldiers from all backgrounds came to see traditional Judaism as a source of strength, comfort and inspiration.

Rav Gilad is a national spokesman for the morally sensitive in the religious community and has earned recognition for his outspoken views and grassroots activism in promoting a Jewish and a democratic state —one without contradiction and without coercion from the religious establishment.
