Emily Einhorn: A Light Among the Nations

In Fall 2017, ELI Talks partnered with the Silverstein Base Hillel in Chicago to produce the first-ever 'Voices by ELI' - a program that cultivates teen and young adult voices in Jewish communities.Ten speakers selected by Base Hillel worked with ELI Talks to find and hone their inspired Jewish idea.
Charles Cohen, Executive Director of Metro Chicago Hillel, emceed the event where three undergraduate students and seven young adult Basers shared 5 minutes of wisdom, to over 60 attendees, on topics ranging from "Politics: It's a Mitzvah", Judaism and Magic: My Conflicting Passions, Good Grief: How the Jewish Mourning Process Can Heal the World and Class and Money in Jewish Spaces: My Story of Exclusion (and Eventual Inclusion).
Silverstein Base Hillel is a project of Metro Chicago Hillel.
Emily Einhorn is an avid Cav's fan from Cleveland Ohio! A Freshmen at Depaul, she is currently studying PR and Advertising but plans to add in a double major at some point to keep it interesting. When asked what she wants to be when she "grows up" all she knows is that she wants to be happy. Her passions include but are not limited to Jewish summer camp--specifically camp Ramah in Canada, Israel, Cleveland, yoga, food, and her family and friends. When she got to DePaul, Emily knew she wanted to be involved at Base because of her experience at Jewish Day School, her temple, and camp. Currently a Jewish learning fellow, she loves Hillel and is looking forward to hopefully getting even more involved next quarter. Today she took two finals, so she wants the audience to know that that's the explanation for the bags under her eyes. She also wants the audience to know that if anyone wants to argue about Lebron James she will be here after the talks are over to discuss the very important matter.
