Rabbi Daniel Swartz to Present a Dialogue about Vocation

A free lecture about vocation, exploring the intersection of faith, service, and social justice, is set for 3 p.m. on Thursday, February 27, in the McGowan Conference Room, Swartz Center for Spiritual Life, on the campus of Marywood University.

Rabbi Daniel Swartz, spiritual leader of Temple Hesed in Scranton and a renowned Jewish environmental author with over 30 years of experience, will lead attendees in a conversation about answering the call to serve and dedicating their energy toward fulfillment and justice—both personally and across the entire community.

One of the major journeys many people face is the realization of their life’s purpose or vocation. The dialogue presented by Rabbi Swartz will consider vocation from the perspective of how God calls people to serve in the world, or as the type of work that one feels suited to doing, to which individuals are willing to give all their time and energy to fulfilling.

As an institution of higher education, Marywood University supports its students in identifying and developing their personal and professional vocations, encouraging them to become lifelong learners and to achieve their full potential.
