Rabbi Yehuda Sarna
•
Jonathan Frieden
Rabbi Yehuda Sarna is the Chief Rabbi of the Jewish community of the United Arab Emirates and the Executive Director of the Bronfman Center and a University Chaplain at NYU. Rabbi Sarna sits down to discuss the vision that he had for himself growing up, how his experiences on 9/11 shaped his approach to leadership, and what he feels he can give most to his university students. He speaks about teaching open mindedness, interacting with and overcoming his own preconceived stereotypes, and his experiences in the United Arab Emirates (including what people most misunderstand about his job there). Rabbi Sarna concludes with what it means to lead.
