WINTER WEEK OF LEARNING

WILL BE UPLOADED SHORTLY

The Role of Women in Changing Times: A Torah Perspective

The reality of today would seem like a fantasy a mere generation ago.  New technologies become obsolete faster than we can learn how to use them.  Limitless information is accessible to any of us with just a few keystrokes.  We are in the middle of an unprecedented revolution in communication.  Our pace of life is becoming increasingly more frenetic, so much so that a main concern for most of us is finding some “me” time. Permissive attitudes and valuies of society, the economy, nuclear issues weigh heavily on us.   We all adapt; we somehow manage.  But our physical world affects our spiritual standing as well, both as people and even more so as women. Please join us for a week of learning focusing on how to face these challenges and turning them into opportunities for spiritual growth.
