Stephen Wise Free Synagogue
30 West 68th StreetTONIGHT'S CLASS:
Jewish Wisdom and the Pursuit of a Good Life
MONDAY, APRIL 27, 6:30–8:00 p.m.
On Yom Kippur, our Rabbi Ammi Hirsch said: “The purpose of prayer is to strengthen us, not God; it is to convince us, not God. It is to fortify our commitment to the work of repair: To choose life over death, meaning over despair, action over passivity.” Join Rabbi Hirsch for a deep dive into the Torah’s call to “choose life” and an exploration of the ways Jewish wisdom guides our search for meaning and moral clarity.
