Your Boss is God and Your Work is Never Finished: Jewish Career Wisdom

There are many resources available to those who seek higher pay, professional advancement, or career guidance. Can Jewish teachings also enhance work life? This class will present rich and diverse Jewish perspectives on income, work, and careers that provide a spiritual lens through which to view our professional lives. We’ll explore Jewish texts and outlooks from a number of sources to help us rethink, reassess, and refocus our work selves and career aspirations.

Mark I. Rosen, Ph.D. is an educator, consultant, researcher, and public speaker. He earned his Ph.D. in organizational behavior and human resource management and taught management courses for over three decades as a faculty member at several universities, most recently at Brandeis University in the Hornstein Jewish Professional Leadership Program. He is the author of two books.
