NEW COURSES STARTING
JUDAISM & ECONOMIC JUSTICE
So much of our attention these days has been focused on the economy and the issues of economic justice with the Occupy Wall Street movement and reactions to it. What does Judaism have to say about the rights of workers? The rights of employers? Competition? A fair wage? And what happens when values are in conflict? In light of current events we will be taking a look at classical Jewish sources from Torah, Talmud, Codes and Responsa to examine the range of Jewish responses. Sundays at 7:00 pm beginning January 8th. Cost is $25 for non- members.
JUDAISM & THE ENVIRONMENT
On February 7/8 we celebrate Tu B’Shevat and the New Year for Trees. In doing so we consider our relationship with our environment: How should we treat the world in which we live? Is the world made for our sake to use and enjoy? Are we to be stewards and take care of the earth? Is there a balance between the two? How do we reconcile the need for profit with the need for protection? We’ll be looking into Jewish sources for the answers to these questions. Sundays at 7:00 pm beginning February 12th. Cost is $25 for non-members.
