​Thought Leader

A thought leader is someone who is recognized as a visionary and who can clearly and effectively communicate that vision to others. S/he is a person who believes in embracing change and sees opportunities where others see difficulties or obstacles. A thought leader is creative, a risk taker, not satisfied with the status quo and almost always says “let’s try that” when everyone else might be saying “no way.” Finally, a thought leader is not afraid of shifting paradigms or thinking outside the box. In fact, for the thought leader, it is the ground of uncertainty that gives birth to all transformation.

​For more than thirty five years, Rabbi Bookman has been a thought leader in a variety of disciplines and concerns. You can count on him to push the envelope and stretch what you thought was possible with dynamic teaching, programs, lectures, and workshops.
