The Thirteen Truths of Superman:A Hero’s Guide to Standing for Truth, Justice, and Our Future


Superman is more than a superhero. He is a symbol of hope, justice, and resistance against tyranny. Created by the children of Jewish refugees in response to fascism, his story has inspired generations to stand against oppression. In a world facing profound change, Superman’s legacy reminds us that we have the power to shape a better future.

In this compelling talk, international speaker, Pop Culture Rabbi, and social change strategist Andrew Slack unpacks Superman’s Thirteen Truths, a framework that reveals how the Man of Steel embodies resilience, truth, and justice. Timed just weeks before the release of the new Superman film, this program explores how the hero’s Jewish origins connect to today’s struggles for democracy, human rights, and social change. Through history, activism, and pop culture, Slack shows how Superman’s story offers a blueprint for standing against injustice and creating a world where all people can thrive.

From his origins in Jewish resistance to his place in the ancient tradition of orphans defying empires, Superman’s story is a call to action. This talk challenges us to honor the past by rising as heroes in the present, defending human dignity, combating hate, and embracing our greatest superpower: interdependence.
