2026 Smol Emuni US Conference - Afternoon Plenary: The Commandment to Do Good - עשהטוב

The Commandment to Do Good -עשהטוב If סוּר מֵרָע calls us to turn away from evil, עֲשֵׂה טוֹב commands us to move toward the good. Dr. Eman Ansari Rabbi Sharon Brous Mickey Gitzin Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller Moderator: Dr. Rivka Press-Schwartz Judaism does not assume moral perfection, rather it offers pathways for repair when we fall short: tikkun (repair), tochacha (loving rebuke), and teshuvah (return). These are not abstract ideals, but practical tools—for individuals, for communities, and for institutions to help us chart a path forward when harm has been done. Many among us feel that our Jewish institutions, our leaders, our rabbis—and we ourselves—have failed to live up to our responsibilities as religious Jews guided by Torah values. This plenary asks what it means to act faithfully now. We will hear from religious, political and grassroots leaders who are doing inspiring work in these areas.
