Who Are We Becoming at 250? Jewish Wisdom for American Jews in Divided Democracy
Sunday, November 8 • 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
At this time of deep communal and national soul-searching, how can Jewish tradition anchor us?
Far from being removed from modern life, Torah has always focused on how humans live together, how leaders are held accountable, and how power is ethically wielded. In this introductory lecture we’ll learn and discuss core issues we are facing today, including individual liberty versus communal duty, and the boundaries of belonging in a deeply divided world.
Taught by Rabbanit Nechama Goldman Barash, Education Director of the Pardes Learning Seminar, and a master teacher of contemporary halakha and Talmud.
