“JEWISH ETHICS: LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF”
DAYTIME AND EVENING CLASSES, Rabbi Don Weber
 

“Love your neighbor as yourself” is the best-known commandment in the Bible. Yet we rarely hear anyone talk about how to apply these words in daily life. (When was the last time you heard someone say they were going to do something in order to fulfill this commandment?) In our text, Rabbi Joseph Telushkin gives both Jews and non-Jews an extraordinary summation of what Jewish tradition teaches about putting these words into practice.

Most of what Jews do in visiting the sick, practicing hospitality and comforting mourners comes from this simple commandment. So does most of our understanding of charity. And our striving for justice and tolerance.

In previous years, Rabbi Telushkin’s books have been embraced by our students. He writes in a clear, gentle style and challenges us to grow rather than to feel guilty.

This class is open to people of every level and background. Participants will be expected to read in preparation for each class, but there are no tests!

Members and parents of Nursery School students: No fee. Non-Members: $100.

The text is $32.50, and is available from the temple office.

Daytime classes will meet on alternate Monday afternoons, from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m., beginning October 5.
Evening classes will meet on alternate Thursday evenings, from 8:00 to 9:45 p.m., beginning October 8.
