About the Author

Dr. Norman J. Cohen is widely recognized as one of the great teachers of his generation. A rabbi, professor emeritus of midrash and former provost of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, he frequently lectures to Jewish and Christian laypeople and scholars on Bible study and midrash-finding contemporary meaning from ancient biblical texts. Cohen was a participant in Bill Moyers's Genesis: A Living Conversation on PBS. He is author of Self, Struggle & Change: Family Conflict Stories in Genesis and Their Healing Insights for Our Lives; Voices from Genesis: Guiding Us through the Stages of Life; Moses and the Journey to Leadership: Timeless Lessons of Effective Management from the Bible and Today's Leaders; Hineni in Our Lives: Learning How to Respond to Others through 14 Biblical Texts & Personal Stories and The Way Into Torah (all Jewish Lights).

Reviews

"An insightful study of Moses's leadership, combining traditional midrash with illustrations from today's leaders.... Gives us much to ponder."
--Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter

"Informative and challenging.... Effective in emphasizing what constitutes outstanding leadership.... Recommended."
--Congregational Libraries Today

"Cohen is a consummate teacher of midrash, rabbinic interpretation of Scripture. [He] brings our biblical ancestor alive, while teaching us what's at stake in true leadership."
--Prof. Burton L. Visotzky, author of The Genesis of Ethics and Reading the Book: Making the Bible a Timeless Text

"Engaging.... Reframes the ideals and issues of leadership.... Draws lessons from this teacher and prophet of antiquity for all who aspire to leadership today."
--Mary C. Boys, coauthor of Christians and Jews in Dialogue: Learning in the Presence of the Other

"Masterful and thought-provoking.... Compares and contrasts the leadership problems faced by Moses and the Israelites with those of the modern-day CEO. A must read for modern-day leaders who to seek to aid in the growth and progress of an organization."
--Stanley P. Gold, chairman, USC Board of Trustees
