Ascending the Ladder of Personal Growth

Week  of Learning

Sunday, June 24 - Wednesday, June 27    9:30 – 2:15 at Park East Synagogue

Ascending the Ladder of Personal Growth

In previous days of learning, we have examined the initial building blocks - the foundation of a G-dly being - chesed (kindness), gevurah (self-discipline) and tiferet (truth).  In this week, after a  review of the foundation, we will examine the ongoing process of personal growth from a personal and historic outlook.   The individuals who paved the path for us - from Avraham to King David - will enable us to  identify the next stages of the growth process, the logic behind their order and the way they complement and relate to each other.

Light lunch will be served every day from 12:15 - 1:00
