In Partnership with Temple Beth Ami
Every day, we are confronted with questions about right and wrong, good and evil. How can we, as Jews, draw on our experiences, texts, and traditions to navigate these issues and offer an ethical voice? How do our perspectives shape our interpretation of texts and influence our leadership decisions?
In this three-week course, we will explore three contemporary ethical dilemmas, each designed to deepen our understanding of the evolution of ethical thought in Jewish tradition. We will delve into topics surrounding:
Who is more important: me or you?
Jewish political ethics in America
and Civil discourse
Through these discussions, we will also gain practical insights on how to address and navigate difficult topics thoughtfully.
