Arguments for the Sake of Heaven—A How-To Program by Rabbi Holtz
Tuesday, May 22 from 7:30-9:00pm
At the High Holydays, Rabbi Holtz spoke about
what constitutes a "machloket l'shem shamayim"
- an argument for the sake of heaven. He said
polarization of opinions and positions which we are experiencing in our
country today has long been a feature of human discourse, though the
animosity we're now seeing has not. TBA is honored to be piloting the
curriculum from Israel’s Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies. We look at
Jewish texts on one aspect of how to conduct an argument and then have
the opportunity to put that idea into practice. Please join fellow
congregants in a skills-building program on how to turn your
disagreements into arguments for the sake of heaven. This is the fourth
session of the series. The last session meets on May 29.
RSVP’s are really helpful! Please email [email protected]
