Jews prize our Jewish identity for many reasons, but central among them for many Jews is the moral guidance and motivation it gives us. This session, and the book on which it is based - Ethics at the Center: Jewish Theory and Practice for Living a Moral Life - explores the foundational concepts that are the basis for Jewish moral thinking and action and how they differ from American secular and Christian concepts. Some specific topics will be used to illustrate those differences.
