Rabbi Yigal Cohen Delivers Weekly Lesson on Real Leadership

Religious
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

Rabbi Yigal Cohen, a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council and head of the Yabia Omer institutions, delivered his weekly lesson on Tuesday evening from the Museum Halls in Holon. The session was streamed live on the Kikar HaShabbat website.

The weekly theme of the class was, “Be a true leader.” The article presents the event as part of Cohen’s regular public teachings, aimed at a broad religious audience.

No additional details are given about the content of the lecture itself beyond the theme and the live broadcast. The accompanying text also notes unrelated newsroom material about police violence and a separate police controversy, but that is not part of the lesson report.
