December 5 | Rabbi Rebecca Reice

A Taste of Talmud on Giving and Recieving Rebuke

Come join for a meaningful evening of text study including texts from the Torah, Talmud, and a comparative text from the Christian tradition. We will bring our own ideas into conversation with the ancient rabbis and posit how these teachings apply in our contentious world today. Would these principles help lower the volume or raise the heat?
