The Global Day of Jewish Learning brings the Jewish people together once a year to celebrate our shared Jewish texts through community based learning. Open to everyone.

Loving and Waiting: A Talmudic Perspective on Relationships, with Bruce Chalmer from 10-11:00 a.m.
The rabbis of the Talmud had strong opinions about romantic love. We will explore some extreme examples of marriages portrayed in the Talmud. What is the connection between loving and waiting? What can these stories teach us about how to balance competing loves?

Is Love Always Good? Exploring Love in The Thirteen Petalled Rose, with Bruce Hicken from 11-12:00 pm
In Judaism, individual human emotions are considered neither "good" nor "bad." How does this fundamental idea at the core of Jewish belief apply to love? Through a careful look at an excerpt from The Thirteen Petalled Rose, a book of Kabbalah by Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz, we will explore the Jewish approach to human character traits and discover its wisdom.
