Scholar-in-Residence

Friday–Saturday, December 5–6, 2025

Join us for an unforgettable Scholar-in-Residence Weekend with Jori Epstein, senior NFL reporter for Yahoo Sports and acclaimed author of The Upstander: How Surviving the Holocaust Sparked Max Glauben’s Mission to Dismantle Hate. Recognized as a 2025 Associated Press Top-10 National Beat Writer and recipient of multiple national journalism awards, Jori brings compelling storytelling, insight, and heart to every conversation.

Through Sideline Stories, she will share powerful moments that illuminate resilience, courage, and the lessons we carry from the sidelines of life. These sessions are a rare opportunity to engage with one of today’s most dynamic voices in journalism and Jewish learning.
