An Adult Education Class*, Taught by Rabbi Yoel Kahn

In his short work The Way of Humanity, Martin Buber uses Hasidic stories as a lens to illuminate how each individual can find their way in the world — carefully treading the path between  self over-absorption and evasion of personal responsibility. Across six brief, beautifully written chapters, Buber presents a spiritual program for how to "realize God in the world" through becoming and living our own highest selves.

We will read and discuss the stories, how they connect to Jewish spiritual practice, and explore how our own spiritual lives can be more aligned with our own derekh, our personal way through the world, as we prepare for Passover, z'man cheiruteinu, the season of our liberation.

Please register using the form below. In advance of the first session, please purchase a copy of The Way of Humanity [CCAR Press, 2023]. It is available in print on bookshop.org and both print and digital formats on Amazon.com.

*Please note that there is no class on Tuesday, March 17.
Learn more about Passover with Beth Am.
