Understanding and Living Jewish Values

Saying that Jewish values are “a living, vital resource upon which we can continue to draw, as did past generations,” Rabbi Levin will lead “Understanding and Living Jewish Values,” his Thursday adult-education class. 

The year-long class explores the meaning and importance of Jewish values in contemporary society and how are they relevant to our lives. Classical texts such as the Torah, Tanakh, Mishnah, Talmud, the musar literature (works of moral instruction), offer Jewish values; these writings, among others, will be examined.

“We will discuss laws, legends and anecdotes that give us a vision of how to live” the rabbi noted, adding that, “We will deal with viewpoints and guidelines, both ancient and modern, that address contemporary issues. We will also examine values that help us to lead a good, productive, generous and meaningful life.”

Please note: "Understanding and Living Jewish Values" was last year's class. Rabbi Levin will teach a new class after the High Holidays, so check back soon for details.
