Craig Taubman: A Model of Community Leadership
In today’s podcast, Craig Taubman provides an inspirational message of leadership. He serves his community in extraordinary ways. Craig is a professional musician who produced many hits for Disney movies and television. Yet when a rabbi invited Craig to work toward the building of a better society, Craig agreed. Using his own funds, Craig purchased a synagogue to form the Pico Union project. The Pico Union project has consumed his life for nearly three years. His remuneration is the service that he provides to believers of all faiths.
“If you are a person who believes,” Craig tells us, “You can change and grow.”Craig brings several different faith groups together into the Pico Union project, serving thousands. Everyone is obliged to give back, and Craig shows by example. Even people in prison can enrich their lives by living as givers—they can give their time, they can give their heart, they can give their mind. Be present, Craig advises. Enrich the lives of others and you simultaneously enrich your own life.
If I’m not for myself, then who will be for me? If I’m only for myself, then who am I? And if not now, when?
