WHEN BAD LEADERS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE: LESSONS FROM THE BIBLE’S MOST
COMPLICATED CHARACTERS with RUTH BERGMAN
In-Person I Max M. Fisher Federation Building
THURSDAYS, 10 – 11:15 AM
Sept. 11, 18, 25
Why do good people sometimes make bad choices? And what happens when power
corrupts completely? In this thought-provoking course, we’ll dive into
gripping biblical stories of leaders who failed—some through greed and ego,
others through justifications and missteps. Together, we’ll explore what went
wrong, why it matters and how these ancient cautionary tales can shape the way
we lead today. Discover the essential traits of ethical leadership and how to
cultivate them in yourself, your workplace and your community. This is more
than a study of the past—it’s a call to lead with courage, clarity and
conscience.

and the angels in early biblical writings deliver information or carry out
specific tasks. Join Rabbi Michele Faudem as we explore the mystical world of
Jewish angels, the afterlife, and our souls in the next world.
