Philosophy Minyan Continues This Fall
Philosophy Minyan Continues This Fall
The Philosophy Minyan will continue this fall as a lunchtime monthly series on Zoom. All are welcome to participate in this lively and thought-provoking exploration of topics at the intersection of philosophy, Jewish thought and contemporary issues. Whether you are a seeker, a skeptic, a believer or a doubter, the human condition presents all of us with moral choices, ethical dilemmas and timeless questions. This is a discussion-oriented class in which we share laughs as well as multiple perspectives.
Fall topics will be announced in advance. Mark your calendar now for noon to 1:30 PM on these upcoming Wednesdays:
Be sure to check the Beth Am calendar for class descriptions and any schedule changes, as well as to register for individual sessions.
If you would like to be added to the email list for monthly Philosophy Minyan reminders and the Zoom link, or have a great topic you would like to suggest, please contact Shelley.
