We live in a truly amazing time when we can interact with more people than our ancestors could ever imagine! The question is, are the relationships we build as deep as they used to be? What might be holding us back? Perhaps we were hurt by someone and now avoid deep relationships? In short, relationships are complicated, especially with those who challenge us the most. Together, we will engage in traditional Jewish texts about the paradox of relational Judaism, specifically about relationships in the Talmud that were rich, but also dangerous. Were they worth it? Participants will learn in chevrutah (pairs) and engage in story sharing.
