Lunchtime Adult Learning
| |
Free Lunchtime Adult Learning Downtown with Dr. Erica Brown
CJP invites you to its Genesis Forum
On the topic of "The Use and Abuse of Power in Jewish Tradition"
From the Bible to the Talmud to Jewish philosophy, Jewish texts have focused on the nature of political power within the family, and within community and organizational governance structures. This Genesis Forum will survey many of these texts and focus on fundamental questions about how power works, how it gets corrupted and what we can do within a framework of ethics to keep personal power in check. This class, which is accessible to all, will survey topics such as the Jewish attitude to power, why it's so easy to abuse power, how we should respond when religious figures abuse power, and the role of a follower in monitoring and curbing the power of leaders.
Genesis Forum meets at CJP (126 High Street, 02110) on the following Wednesdays from 12:00-1:15 PM: Nov. 11, Dec. 9, Jan. 13, Feb. 10, Mar, 2, Mar. 16, Apr. 6, May 11, and June 8. Come to as many or few sessions as you are able.
