Putting Your Money Where Your Soul Is: Jewish Wisdom and Socially Responsible Investing

A virtual event presentation by Rabbi Jacob Siegel

ABOUT THE EVENT:

“Business as usual” is leading us down a path of rising economic suffering, societal division, and climate crisis. A new approach promises socially responsible investing by looking at “environmental, social, and governance (ESG)” concerns. Amid the new buzzwords and their ensuing controversy, the question remains: where should you invest your retirement savings, your pension plan, or your organization’s endowment? This class will explore Jewish guidance, helping the modern Jewish investor harness ancient wisdom to leverage your investments for good.
