Our conversations about Israel/Palestine will do little to change the Middle East, but they threaten the fabric of our community. Based on curricular materials from the Shalom Hartman Institute and on a close reading of chapters from Shai Held's book, Judaism is About Love, this five session course with Rabbi Greyber will explore how different understandings of the Jewish value of "love" can serve as a basis for communal discourse around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Sessions will include discussions of the following chapters: Learning to Love and Be Loved: The Family (Chapter 4) & Loving Our Neighbor: Judaism's "Great Principle," but What Does It Mean? (Chapter 5) Loving Our Own, And Everyone Else Too: Judaism's Particularist Universalism (Chapter 6) & Human Dignity and Solidarity: Judaism's Other "Great Principle" (Chapter 7) Loving the Stranger: The Bible's Moral Revolution (Chapter 8) & Must We Love Our Enemies Too? (Chapter 9)

Children ages 0-5 and their grown-ups are welcome to join us for storytime, songs, snacks, and FUN every Monday.
