In Jewish Tradition (Shabbat 31a) we learn that the first question asked at the heavenly gates is: “Were you honest in your business dealings?” Lucky for us, we were able to explore some of the business ethics and general emphasis on greater humanitarian practice with Scott A. Shay the cofounder and Chairman of Signature Bank. Whether talking about the practical aspects of idolatry (“In Good Faith!”), discussing how Hillel influences the bank’s standards and procedures, or exploring how we can genuinely interact and engage with a strong interest in each other’s growth, Scott taught us a lot not only about this week’s Torah portion, but also through bringing in other examples of biblical proportions! We were also thrilled to welcome MJ Lowinger, Kelley School of Business alum and an information systems auditor in the utilities sector as our Q&A guest.
