A virtual event presentation by Rabbi Jacob Siegel
Temple Solel co-hosted the event
About the event:
“Business as usual” is leading us to rising economic suffering, societal division, and climate crisis. A new approach promises socially responsible investing by looking at “environmental, social, and governance (ESG)” concerns. Amid the new buzzwords and their ensuing controversy, the question remains: Where should you invest your retirement savings, pension plan, or organization’s endowment? This class will explore Jewish guidance, helping the modern Jewish investor harness ancient wisdom to leverage their investments for good.
About the speaker:
Rabbi Jacob Siegel has spent years working with individuals and institutions across North America to bring Jewish values and wisdom to bear on investment decisions and to invest in a climate-smart future. He received rabbinic ordination from Yeshivat Chovevei Torah and earned his undergraduate in mathematics from Washington University in St. Louis. He lives in Eugene, Oregon with his family, where he serves on the board of his local Jewish Federation and his local credit union.
