Highlighting: “The Hidden Light: Biblical Paradigms for Leadership,” by Dr. Jerry Hochbaum. OU Press. 2019. Hardcover. English. ISBN-13: 978-1602803688.

OU Press, the publishing division of the Orthodox Union, announced the publication of Rabbi Dr. Jerry Hochbaum’s “The Hidden Light: Biblical Paradigms for Leadership.”

Arranged according to the parshiyot of the Torah, the book is far from a conventional parshat hashavua compendium. It is a fascinating exploration and distillation of the Torah’s views on leadership. Combining a novel approach with sensitivity and insight, “The Hidden Light: Biblical Paradigms for Leadership” rewards the reader with a fresh view of the weekly parsha.

Through a lifetime of involvement in Jewish communal work, Rabbi Dr. Jerry Hochbaum experienced first-hand the nature of leadership in the Jewish community. A prominent professor of sociology at Yeshiva University, he also worked with the National Jewish Community Council and was executive vice president of the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture where his major priority was the organization of a leadership development program for the global Jewish community.
