The Samantha Woll Dialogues 2025-2026

The Samantha Woll Dialogues was established in memory of Samantha Woll, who was tragically murdered in October 2023 at the age of 40. Samantha was deeply committed to Judaism and was serving as the President of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue in Detroit at the time of her death. Her influence, however, extended far beyond her own faith. She had a remarkable ability to unite individuals with diverse backgrounds and beliefs, which resulted in her spearheading multiple interfaith and cross-cultural initiatives. Samantha was truly an inspirational force, passionately advocating for inclusivity, always looking for the good in everyone and providing an unwavering voice for the most vulnerable and marginalized in society. Our hope is that the Samantha Woll Dialogues will carry forward her legacy by championing her values of tolerance, compassion and humility. All dialogues are recordered and incoporated in the flagship course.
