Dear Shabbat Shalom Reader,

We're excited to welcome 5781 with a new look and feel to the OU Shabbat Shalom newsletter. In addition to what we feel is a more visually-appealing experience for you, our loyal reader, this new version is more concise and mobile friendly. It will provide you with a more pleasant experience while you peruse the same rich and varied articles on Torah, Jewish life and OU news and events that you've enjoyed throughout the years.

We would love to hear your feedback about Shabbat Shalom's new design - email us at media@ou.org. Thanks for reading and our sincere wishes for a g'mar chatimah tovah.

What Makes a Jewish Leader?"

Rabbi Dr. Warren Goldstein

So many books have been written about leadership. And yet, to the best of my knowledge, there are no classic Torah books dedicated exclusively to the topic. The Torah itself—in the Chumash, the Talmud and all of our holy sources—is replete with wisdom on how to be a good leader. Why, then, are there no Torah books on leadership?

A Vision for Communal Teshuva

Rabbi Moshe Hauer

While we may be accustomed to understanding the teshuva process as an individual experience, there certainly is room for us to engage in teshuva as a community, particularly this year.
