Ever since Abraham interrupted his conversation with God to feed passing strangers, Judaism has stressed the importance of helping others. This course examines those moments in life when how you choose to act can change a life. Do you worry about what to say and do at a shiva house? Do you deliberate about whether to invite an unwelcome guest for Shabbat?
Do you search for the right words at hospital visits? Learn how Jewish wisdom and action deals with these issues, with insightful and very experienced teachers.
