A Rosh Pinah Shabbat Evening & Havdalah with Rabbi Shai Held
We are delighted that you will be joining Rabbi Zeff and Rabbi Held for a special Rosh Pinah program, Is 'Love Your Enemies' A Jewish Idea? In Rabbi Held’s words, “We are commanded to love our neighbor, but what about those who are hostile to us—must we love them too? How should we feel and act toward them? What clues can we derive from Tanakh, from Rabbinic tradition, and from modern Musar writers? Jesus famously instructs his disciples to love their enemies. Is this orientation distinctively Christian, or is loving your enemies a Jewish value too? More basically: is loving your enemies a good thing?” GJC President Denise Wolf and Paul Rudick will be your gracious hosts for this delightful evening of wine, dessert, and discussion on November 3rd at 7:30 PM.
