SUMMARY:Challenging Time\, Ageless Insights
DESCRIPTION:Challenging Time\, Ageless Insights\nWe live in highly polarized times. But one of the Jewish people’s greatest strengths is our ability to simultaneously hold conflicting ideas and opinions. What wisdom can we draw from our Jewish tradition in order to help us better engage productive\, rather than destructive\, conversation over the fault lines that divide us? Join Temple Beth Shalom’s Rabbi Daniel Reiser for this insightful discussion. \n“Challenging Times\, Ageless Insights” offers participants the opportunity to engage with clergy in exploring contemporary issues through a Jewish lens. These discussions will provide insights\, debate\, and if we are successful\, even more questions. \n
