'Nothing important was ever accomplished without chutzpah. Columbus had chutzpah. The signers of the Declaration of Independence had chutzpah. Don't ever aim doubt at yourself. Laugh at yourself, but don't doubt yourself.'
— Alan Alda

Episode 142 (S3:E33) is here!
This week we dive deeper into the story of what was to become known as '2nd Passover'. Specifically, our focus is in their request in the first place!
Our topic: Chutzpah
Why?
Because what lives at the foundation and core of their question, 'why should we be any less', is a deep belief and hope that there is a solution, and a satisfactory one at that! Their hope/belief stems from almost nothing. There would appear to be no source and no basis for the question, itself.
It is, to use a phrase I once heard from Professor Ruth Wisse, a 'monumental chutzpah!'
So then our focus this week:
^ What is chutzpah and its English language counterpart 'audacity'?
^ What makes for an audacious leader?
^ How can we implement chutzpah more positively and more regularly in our own lives?
Happy learning!
