“One God, Many Paths: Finding Jewish Ethical Answers to Today's Compelling Questions"

Have you ever wondered:  "Do I have to tell the truth if it will hurt someone?  Have I found my true soul mate?  Is it wrong to treat my children differently?  Most of us have asked these or similar questions  at some point in our life.  Through readings from Lederman's books, To Life! Jewish Reflections on Everyday Living and One God, Many Paths: Finding Meaning and Inspiration in Jewish Teachings, in addition to other relevant texts, we will explore how the answers to complex ethical and moral dilemmas affect and define our relationships, work and community life as we struggle to find meaning in a complicated world.

Continuing Legal Credit (CLE) available.
