Jewish and Secular Values: What is the Difference?

Prerequisite Note: Due to the virtual setting of this class, you must have computer capability, including internet access, in order to participate. A camera is also optimal but not required.

Whereas many Jewish values have become mainstream in our national secular culture, there remains significant differences.

This session will examine those differences, and highlight how they can have significant impacts upon how we think, and, indeed, how we act in our daily lives.
