Ethics of Our Fathers Class after Kiddush on Shabbos

We thank Ben Zager for his generosity in sponsoring.
Additional sponsors are always welcome!

Lesson 1
The Message of Abraham
Our universal message isn’t “Be Jewish,” so what is it? See how Judaism’s universal concern began with Abraham and what ethical monotheism means in practice.
Lesson 2
Is Morality Obvious?
Can logic create morality? Explore the value of innate human dignity, where it comes from, and the trouble with pinning new sources to a timeless moral principle.
Lesson 3
Educating Children
Is raising kids all about career-prep? What should we teach our children at school and at home? See the critical purpose that makes family life so central to Judaism’s universal morality.
Lesson 4
It Will Get Better
History is a story of purpose and progress, not endless cycles of doom. See how this makes every moral choice a stepping stone to a harmonious future.

An Important Note about Kiddushes –
The policy of the shul is to allow multiple sponsors for every Kiddush unless it is a Bar/Bat Mitzvah or something similar (like a 50th wedding anniversary etc.).
There is no such thing as an exclusive Kiddush sponsor.
This is our policy for numerous reasons, not least of which is the fact that Kiddush sponsorships help generate much-needed income for our community and encourages more people to participate.
We thank you for your support and understanding!
