The Ethical Life: Jewish Values in an Age of Choice
The Ethical Life: Jewish Values in an Age of Choice
Tuesday evenings, September 24–October 22 
7:00-8:30 PM
with
Rabbi Mitchell Berkowitz
Tuition: $100
Meal Plan Option: $25
From political and financial scandals to rapid progress in biomedical science and technology, the complex issues of modern society are, at their core, issues of ethical and moral concern. Now more than ever, we require a solid understanding of how Jewish ethics can inform our discussions and decisions about the critical questions of the day. Judaism has a long history of wrestling with moral questions, responding to them in a way that considers all sides of an issue.
Join us for dinner!
All participants for Hebrew High Tuesday nights are welcome to join our meal plan option. Dinners will be served from 6:30-7:00 PM - join with your friends! For $25 per five-week course, dinner is included to complete the evening.
